General Tso Valued Member United States 341 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 2:00 pm I am thinking of getting a typeset book. A 7070 or possibly a Whitman. I have read here that 7070 books can tend to tone coins. The coins I would be putting in are XF condition not proofs. Would or could coins with miles on them tone in such a book? Is it mostly proofs or bu coins that tone? I'm not a toned coin fan. Report this Post to the Staff

As with any album (Dansco, Whitman, etc.), how and where you store them is very important. They are not air tight, so they can be affected by the surrounding environment. Low humidity and stable temperature are important.

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 4:26 pm The surfaces of a proof or uncirculated coin are more reactive than that of a circulated coin and thus, more prone to tone. From my experience, freshly cleaned coins are the most reactive of them all and can tone quite readily. This would be due to a combination of an unoxidized surface and an increase in surface area(microscratches will greatly increase the normal surface area of a coin) directly caused by the cleaning, thus providing a larger area to now undergo oxidation.
