ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19126 Posts	Posted 02/20/2020 2:32 pm I have a couple old/vintage Whitman dime albums full of Mercury and (silver) Roosevelt dimes, with most coins showing similar toning. These dimes have been in these albums since I acquired them long, long ago. I believe the Whitmans have contributed to the toning--other factors in-play would include humidity and heat.

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/20/2020 2:45 pm Is the Whitman a folder or an album ? A folder will be more likely the culprit than an album . But the environment where the book was stored could have been the main problem . Report this Post to the Staff

hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7273 Posts	Posted 02/20/2020 3:18 pm I have coins in Whitman folders that have been there for over 30 years and they look like when I put them in. Storage conditions affect coins more than what they are stored in. My Slabbed Dansco 7070 with Gold Page My Slabbed IHC Set My Slabbed 20th Century Type Set Report this Post to the Staff

Officially toning is damage, but as mentioned, some people seek them out. Personally, I don't mind certain colours, namely blues and violets. Report this Post to the Staff
