<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ranchhand, post: 78441, member: 2622&quot;]I am pretty heavily invested in dansco albums, and i am currently seeking out the old out of print albums ( world coin sets )</p><p>I like how they look, and I REALLY like how they help me organize my collection. its like having an automatic check list <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In my searching for these old coin albums i have been able to see old collections that have been sitting in dansco albums for decades, sometimes i see toning, sometimes not. I can’t verify that the coins toned before they where put into the album, or if the albums toned them. One thing i can say for sure was that in almost all cases the toning i did see was eye pleasing, nothing crazy awful. usually nice rim toning was evident on some coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting thing i noticed, some coins where tones and others where still shiny BU, same album. From what i was told all of the coins had been there for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Remember that the metal contents in coins can affect how likely they are to tone. Some coins will tone no matter what you do to them. I have seen that many of the low silver content coins tend to tone in different ways/degrees then the high silver content coins. US coinage is pretty stable as far as its alloy, but Mexican coinage was on a rollercoaster of different silver content throughout the 20th century. If you are at a coin show or have access to a large variety of Mexican peso coins take a look at them. you will see a trend with what coins tone based on the silver content. at least i have <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Notice how all of the toning resistant storage options never say &quot;tone <i>PROOF</i>&quot; they always say tone <i>RESISTENT</i>. toning is what happens to metal. its a natural chemical reaction.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing is for sure: the environment matters! it doesn’t matter how much silver guard you have around a coin if it is sitting in a closet being baked in 105 degree heat next to the ocean <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
