<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rascal, post: 1111179, member: 29239&quot;]I bet that a lot of coin collectors don&#039;t know that the the reason that coins get&#039;s this toning on them is from exposure to the natural elements in the air. Take the coin in the first post of this thread for example. It is toned darker on one side and if the owner will examine the cello pack it is in that I bet there will be a tiny pin prick size opening in the cello pack on the side where the coin is darker. You can take a proof or mint coin out of the original sealed pack and before long you will have a toned coin whether you like toned coins or not. if you like them bright and white then never remove them from the sealed mint packing and even then some of the cello or plastic packs will not be completely sealed and they will let in air..[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
