chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 03/29/2012 1:59 pm The majority of my collection is stored in 2x2s. I don't really collect loonies and toonies, but have a few I've put away over the years. The problem is that I find the aurate seems to darken in these holders. Has anyone else had this problem? What do you store your loonies and toonies in? Report this Post to the Staff

loonietoon Valued Member Canada 58 Posts	Posted 03/30/2012 7:41 pm You guys are making me nervous. I just cut open 10 prooflike sets to complete my loonie collection. Put them all in 2x2's maybe its simply the air that changes the colour. They do seem to tone quickly. Report this Post to the Staff

Canadian-Banknotes Pillar of the Community Canada 4944 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 12:04 am I notice this to, on all of my loonies that I have in my collection. (I use stapled 2x2s) Report this Post to the Staff
loonietoon Valued Member Canada 58 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 5:33 pm I used stapled 2x2's. The longest one of my loonies has been in is maybe 3 months and still looks great. Fingers crossed. Maybe I need to keep them in a humidor. Lol Report this Post to the Staff
Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 04/01/2012 10:10 pm When I staple my 2x2s I make sure that there aren't any huge air pockets. Pinch, staple, ply! Old dealer 2x2s are usually quick-stapled and they turn a nasty brown, or they use a size that is too large for the coin being preserved. For those I restore them in new 2x2s.
