banknotelover Valued Member Australia 218 Posts	Posted 07/21/2012 02:20 am Hi guys Have a question... If you have say a nicely ranbow toned silver coin, how long will the rainbow toning last ? Let's say for argument sake the toning is not artificial and the coin is say 70 years old. Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2135 Posts	Posted 07/21/2012 11:33 am Why would the toning disappear ? I have silver coins that I got in change 50 years ago that had rainbow toning then and still have it. Admittedly, I didn't take a photo of it then so it might have changed.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/21/2012 4:09 pm The toning will only change over time if the coin is continually subjected to an oxidative environment. As long as the coins are stored in a neutral environment location with low heat and humidity and away from sulfur-containing carboard products, the toning should be stable for many years to come.
