<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 7816035, member: 117420&quot;]On this topic/thread and getting back to the Lincoln Boyhood Cents as related, I have two sets of the four different 2009 copper pennies (8 total)...each in its own 2x2 stapled, white cardboard holder for 11-12 years...in addition to two sets of 4 in the OGP plastic case/holders...ALL stored in the same cool/dry place with no other known influence of contaminants, etc.&nbsp; Not one of the eight cents in the 2x2 individual cardboard holders is toned even a little...no indication of anything to the naked eye...not spots, not darkening/fading...totally MS/BU as if just off the press.&nbsp; The other eight cents in the OGP holders (two, with four coins each) are toned between moderate and total...not unattractively but certainly obviously...darkening and no longer BU.&nbsp; You&#039;ll never convince me this is in any way random or environmental, etc...more to almost an assurance of something...a reaction of one or more components...in/of the OGP/holder.&nbsp; Except that some of the same OGP holders contain pristine cents...totally unaffected. Go figure.&nbsp; Understand it CAN be different and effected by other things mentioned...but not in this instance.&nbsp; It&#039;s in/from the OGP holder...or on the coins before holdering...something.&nbsp; For what it&#039;s worth.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
