Toned Morgan display at FUN - 1 new

...do you think setting the conditions for natural toning is bad? i put some
common date ase's in a canvas bank bag. just the ordinary every day one's.
after a year, there is definite toning on the coins. it's starting as a ring
on the rims and is moving inbound. the colors are from brown to steel. - Wed,

Viewpoint: Where have all the coin clubs gone? - 21 new
-------------------------------------------------------
...You can "blame" any or all of many factors: the internet, or television or
radio or urbanization. I think that it is more productive to look at the
marketplace for clubs and see which were successful and try to understand why.
It is clear that there may not be enough business to support two clubs only 20
miles apart if you can - Thurs, Jan 1 2009 3:44 am

keeping pennies red - 7 new
---------------------------
It seems to me that pennies turn red due to one of two possible reasons - skin
oil or oxidation. If the former, just putting them in a coin album or a ziploc
bag or whatever should be sufficient to keep them red. If the latter... would
placing them in a bottle of distilled water do the trick? If the ziploc bag
