<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3048175, member: 112&quot;]I wonder. Couple of reasons I say that. In all of the reports I have read over the years those who have specifically purchased the old WR albums and placed coins in them hoping for positive results - all of the coins have indeed toned. Some in a positive way and some in a negative way. Just like they did when the albums were new.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second reason, just about everything has a standard rate of decay that does not change. Which means they would put off gas at the same rate when old as when they did new. And coins, well toning doesn&#039;t work that way. Coins that are fresh or recently minted tone faster at first. The same is true for coins that have been recently dipped. But assuming the environment does not change, once the initial toning has occurred additional toning slows down. So even with the same amount of gasses being present, the toning would be slower.</p><p><br /></p><p>This could lead to the false conclusion that the album pages do not cause as much toning when old as they did when new.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I&#039;m trying to get across here is that it is not the album that determines the rate of toning, but rather the condition of the coins. Fresh luster, basically untoned coins, equals fast toning. Coins previously toned to some degree equals slower or even less toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
