<p>[QUOTE=&quot;westcoasting, post: 1716594, member: 46847&quot;]You&#039;re welcome.&nbsp; I have a 1988 American Silver Eagle proof that has been stored in the original US Mint capsule and there is some toning/tarnish along a portion of the reed edge.&nbsp; Both sides of the coin still look fine.&nbsp; I suspect the reed toning came about after I actually opened up the capsule to weigh the coin last year... since I don&#039;t recall seeing it at that time.&nbsp; Maybe it was there all along though... (?)</p><p><br /></p><p>For my bullion coin purchases, I tend to put them in those genuine air-tite brand coin holders and then put the coin holders into air-tite coin tubes.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a final touch.. perhaps storing in a sealed container with silica gel packs and also some kind of carbon air purifying bag.&nbsp;&nbsp; I noticed some bamboo-based carbon pouches for sale on amazon.com[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
