<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2456093, member: 19463&quot;]I&#039;m sure someone out there is buying archival and acid free holders to store the coins they just treated with Deller&#039;s Darkener.&nbsp; I suspect some of our favorite toned coins got that way from being stored in a less than archival manner.&nbsp; Among the coins with Provenience I value in my collection a a few from the &#039;Bavarian Collection&#039; sold by NFA in 1993.&nbsp; The collection included many very, very ordinary coins stored in envelopes an with tags made from scrap paper.&nbsp; Several had parts of postage stamps or other evidence of the source of the paper.&nbsp; The romantics among us like to think that the collection was assembled by a WWI disabled Vet (German) whose coins may have been low end but whose numismatic status was excellent.&nbsp; I doubt he knew the term &#039;archival&#039;. </p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac16.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac16.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/feac16.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/bava.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
