<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 129218, member: 4552"]First of all if you plan on keeping the set as a set and if you have a soldering iron, use it carefully and reseal the edges of the plastic. I have in the past found some of my proof sets beginning to tone so I sealed the edges with a soldering iron and that stopped the toning. No air, no moisture, no contaminates, NO toning. </p><p>That is the only place anything can get in. Found a few Uncirculated from the Mint sets also toning so I used a household cloths iron and sealed the edges. That also works. One more easier way that is reasonably cheap is put the coins in a Glad type plastic bags with as much air sucked out as possible then seal with tape. </p><p>Now the question is where do you keep your coins. If in a basement, high humidity area of the country, in a laundry room, etc. your asking for trouble with weather conditions. </p><p>As a last resort just send everything to me for safe keeping. :goofer: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
