regularguy Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 07/20/2012 7:09 pm I went to the bank today to put some coins in my safety deposit box. I pulled everything out to look at them. I found some minor toning on my ASE's that are stored in a Dansco album. I also found a small amount on some slabbed MS64 Morgans. Anyone else seeing toning on coins stored this way? Is some toning going to be unavoidable no matter how well they are stored? Should I use the Zip lock bag storage method? Thanks for any input. Report this Post to the Staff

Slabs too are not foolproof when it comes to being air tight. Almost nothing really is but you can slow that process down a lot with the usage of Zip Lock bags. Report this Post to the Staff
regularguy Valued Member United States 187 Posts	Posted 07/21/2012 3:06 pm Thanks for the input. I will get more Zip lock bags and use them for the coins in my safety deposit box. I think that mostly I am disappointed that they are not in as good of condition as when I purchased them. They are not bad, but I can see some changes and some toning. Since I am a collector, some of these coins have been in my possession for twenty plus years. I know that I have toned and tarnished a little over those twenty plus years.
