<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 1521846, member: 21782&quot;]Stored in the matching Littleton slip cover on a bookshelf, along with other unc LCM’s &amp; unc wheat cents and those have only toned orange, none have toned with the colors these 2009’s show.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, back to the original question.&nbsp; Do you think the toning on these 2009’s is market acceptable or would you store them in Air-Tites right out of the mint set to keep them original?&nbsp; I personally like the toning and I’m debating whether or not to leave them a little longer in the album before “sealing” them in Air-Tites. But then, many scream AT when they see colorful toning on new coins (I didn&#039;t know they would tone like this, so it&#039;s not AT, lol).&nbsp; At some point I&#039;ll put more of these 2009&#039;s in this album and other albums to see if they all tone this way (whoops, that would be AT because now I know, lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, why do you think these 2009’s are toning the way they are?&nbsp; The metal composition is the same as early Lincolns, so that shouldn’t be the cause.&nbsp; Were they coated/rinsed with something different at the mint to address their perceived toning problem?&nbsp; I did nothing to them before placing them in the album and I wore cotton gloves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
