Toning Coins In Albums

Cascade thanks I been going though the site reading and viewing the picture I seen coins that been graded and still toning it look hard to stop it for happening.I purchase Commemorative Coins from the US Mint for instance my March of Dimes 2015 Proof,U.S. Marshals Service 225th Anniversary I have more those I don't want to tone so I will do what you told me to do.I hope that stop it.

Therein lies your problem. Wood is known for out-gassing and it will affect your coins. If you don't want your coins to tone, put your album into a ziplock with a harshly cleaned sacraficial coin of similar composition (to absorb any gasses that make it into the ziplock.

Put the ziplock album into ANOTHER ziplock with a desiccant pack and put the whole thing into a tupperware-type container.

This will slow the toning to a crawl nearly stopping it.

Can't tell from your photos but do you have plastic slides over the coins? This does appear to be an Album, not a Folder and should have plastic slides over the coins. Regardless, moisture and air will usually get to coins if in an Album or Folder depending on where you keep them stored. Best thing I've found is to place them in a Zip Lock Plastic bag. For coins I really want to protect, I use one Zip Lock bag and then reverse the opening and place in a second one. Pushing out as much air as possible each time. I never have any problem with toning on my coins since doing this.

Don't feel too bad reno. Before I found ccf I was teaching myself to grade by shotgun submitting all grades of coins, even worn common dates, to pcgs jus to see what they comw back as and let's just say if I would have found ccf sooner I could have saved myself ALOT of $$$. So don't get down on yourself too much... Your here now and that's all that matters

I slid the plastic over to take clear pics, but plastic does protect the coins. I have it in a safe with a desiccant to help.

Definitely do not clean them; leave them alone, and let them continue toning. IMO they'll gain eye appeal.

Thanks Stephen. I appriciate the kind words but just for future reference, since you're new, we don't like bringing up old threads unless it is pertinent information to the original post or a valid new question pertaining to the thread.

Here is a current thread about ASE's with some of mine and others in it that we're chatting about right now:
