<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1230244, member: 19855&quot;]So, to put it shortly, my Prez Dollar proofs are toning and I don&#039;t know why. Today I decided to flip through and admire my collection. I got to the Prez Dollars to find that 5 of my clad proofs are toning (or at least I think it&#039;s toning). I honestly don&#039;t know why. I house all of my coins in the sereis collection in 2X2&#039;s (or at least something similar) and then house them sequentially in the plastic sheets. Below you will see an example. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/PrezToning002.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have several photo album binders for each denomination. Each are stored on a book shelf in my room. Room itself is kept anywhere from 70-74 degrees, depending on the day.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the toning, here&#039;s an example from our 5th President-tried for different angles so you could see what I&#039;m refering to. I am horrible at capturing tone.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/PrezToning005.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/PrezToning006.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>See how President Monroe&#039;s face is sort of cyanotic/pale looking? This pale coloration is present on both obverse and reverse of at least 5 different proofs and I&#039;m not sure why. Any help would be greatly appreciative, as I really don&#039;t want the golden hues to go out after only a couple of years. The only other thing that I think that could help in this discussion is that we did put in an air conditioner in the room next to mine that could contribute to the issue. Still makes me wonder why none of my other clad proofs have toned though. Thanks again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
