<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 974286, member: 112&quot;]Another thing about original rolls. How many of you can remember back in the &#039;60s when collectors used to experiment with different ways to keep their coins in rolls from toning ? I sure can. One of the ways was to take the coins out of the roll, wrap them in aluminum foil and then reinsert that into the paper roll. And ya know what - it worked. </p><p><br /></p><p>But there was also a problem, with copper anyway. If any moistrue ever got to those rolls the aluminum touching the copper set up a chemical process and the coins got corroded. And it didn&#039;t take much moisture, humidity alone was often enough. So that idea was soon discarded too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point is guys - collectors back in the &#039;50s &amp; &#039;60s had the same problems we have today. They wanted to keep their coins from toning. That&#039;s why they experimented. Coins stored in paper rolls almost always toned. And they didn&#039;t tone in ways that people liked.</p><p><br /></p><p>If a collector had a roll of coins that did not tone he was considered to be very, very lucky. And he was considered lucky because there were very few times when that happened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
