I have mine on my bookshelf in my office. I'm really starting to worry about them, I see some toning on some of my cents and Sacagawea's, not sure what to do!

If you mean Danscos with coins in them, never at home. Safe deposit box at the bank. I pay $100 per year for the box. Small price to pay for piece of mind!

If you have Sacs, SBA's or the Dead Prez dollars in Dansco (or any other albums) make sure they are in a very well controlled environment if you do not want them to tone. Dansco is not a magic word. It really does very little to nothing as far as protection from toning if they are located in a less than ideal environment.

The three I've listed above I have in an enclosed plastic tub with one of those silica gel devices. Previously I had my Sacs sitting on a shelf in a Dansco and they were starting to tone after only one year and toning on a Sac is generally not very pretty!

If you live in a area with low humidity and low pollution, you might be ok. But I'd keep an eye on them.

Yeah, my Sac's are toning pretty fast as well. My house should have great air condition, I do run the humidifier with it through the winter, but nothing high...
