[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1858844, member: 75105"]Well yes and no... After buying a box of coins in littleton envelopes from the early 1980s, I discovered just about every coin in there was rainbow toned, and most of them looked beautiful. I've tried every storage method and like envelopes the best. 1. Cardboard 2x2's have dust that scratch and put black dots on coins. 2. Airtites have no way to label, expensive, and are hard to remove coins from. 3. Snaplocks are too bulky and too expensive for cheap pieces. 4. Flips are expensive and scratch easily if handling them for a while. I've always heard envelopes damage coins. Yet I have never pulled a black or otherwise horribly toned coin from an envelope. The coins I bought were from a box of 200 and everyone I looked at did not have unattractive toning. Every metal from silver, copper, brass, aluminum, and stainless was in the mix. The coin you see below came from an enevelope from littleton. [ATTACH=full]312012[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
