<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Treashunt, post: 172774, member: 6763&quot;]There are many brands of silica gel, since I save all of my money to spend on coins, I usually just use the ones that I get for free: like when you look in the pocket of a new jacket, or your wife buys a new purse, where ever.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; However, Coin World advertises silica gel packets.&nbsp; A 450 gram package is $13.99, plus shipping. They state &quot;protects 33 square feet of enclosed space from the effects of humid air. ....extract the moisture in the air protecting stamps &amp; coins from the harmful effects of humidity. Can be used over &amp; over again.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, a 40 gram for $5.99. In addition, they advertis &quot;Metal Safe Corrosion Inhibitor&quot; ($15.99) &quot;keeps&nbsp; oxygen and airborne pollutants from harming the surfaces of coins.&quot;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Either or both ought to do what you want.</p><p>Good luck.</p><p>Frank</p><p>P.S.&nbsp; Gold will not tone, as acanthite mentioned, but the copper in the coins may tone (gold coins are only 90% gold, 10% copper), that is how they get that nice &#039;orange peel&#039; toning/surfaces that people like.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
