Reno, yes it is impossible to fully stop. The best we can do slow it down if a coins surface is prone to it. I REALLY like toning personalLY and would never try to hault it so I haven't used the sacrificial penny method but BadThad who is a chemist recommends that method.

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.
