I didn't mean I would damage the comics, just slip a coin or two between the pages. Also, the one I said was from 1940 actually has several copyright dates throughout, going as late as 1946.

I took my dollar out today, no toning
using a 1970's comic as an envelope.
It was there on the window ledge for
over a month. Will try a pay envelope.

With all this discussion lately regarding toning Silver coins and how easily and quickly it can be done doesn't it make you curious about the 100+ year old coins you have in your collection that are still blast white?

I'll try toning my coins in an envelope, but it usually doesn't work. What kind of envelope is best?

I'm using a sheet of kraft paper folded a bit thicker than the coin (a 64-D quarter) with a hole cut in the middle that the coin fits in. I'm going for bull's eye toning. So far, I've got a bit of yellow-orange toning in the fields.

I'm trying a folded grocery bag.
On the window ledge.
Will report back in a month.

That's what I'm doing for my 64-D dime. The quarter and dime are both on the window sill. As for pictures, there's not a lot to see yet- it's very faint. I'll post when it's a little more bold.
