Still trying to figure this toning thing out... the 2008 coin Believe7 posted has toning... so that means that effect CAN be "created" in under 100 years. I am curious Believe7, how has that coin been stored? Have you had it "since new"? (sorry, the car-dealer-employee in me has snuck back to life again)

Nice toning!
It looks like the cellophane (is that what it is) is breaking down. Could that be bad for the coins? Could it be part of what's toning the coins?

Not directly, but it does mean less protection from the surroundings. That is assuming they offered any real protection in the first place. I know the modern sets are not air tight and need to be stored in a stable environment.
