oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 4:21 pm I have a couple sets of the Statehood Quarters put away in plastic rolls, and there are lots of them that have this "golden tone" to them. Must be something in the air? Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 02/09/2010 9:19 pm sulfer from paper will cause golden toning like that, I've seen golden jeffersons toned from being in paper holders (such as the 1993 coin and currency set). -XoG Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/13/2010 5:52 pm During the 1950's they used to store Cents in small envelopes. They found out later it turned them dark and ruined them. It happens. Sometimes what you do to coins, later turns out to be the wrong thing. Report this Post to the Staff
