Coins turning yellow

[johnno]

My coins seem to be turning yellowish or yellow blotches

Any ideas what it is or how I can stop it.

Thanks

Looks to me like standard toning.

How have you been handling them, and how are they stored Johnno?

What year's that Johnno?

Are you sure those flips are PVC free Johnno?

Possibility it may be the storage box?

[johnno]

Not the box. Only got that today. Original in a card box and noticed when swapping over

Are the pouches used PVC free as this could shorten the time taken for toning to occur.

Very unusual for a new coin to tone so quickly.

Suggests contamination of some sorts, either chemicals leeching from paper / card or plastic container.

Fine silver will stay shiny for years but sterling silver or other alloys will tarnish earlier especially if kept in a room with smokers or an open fire.

I have one coin with a 'toned' fingerprint. Pretty sure it wasn't me that touched it.

I'm gonna clean it one day. Whoo yeah!

Go for it. Don't worry, I won't grass you up to "you know who"........................

If you mean me by you know who, I've said before I don't particularly care about what others do to their coins, just that I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole after

LOL, actually I wasn't thinking of you, but another "you know who"

He won't mind as long as it's advertised as cleaned when / if he sells it [emoji1]

I put Silicia Gel packets in my monster box to soak up all that moister, Also put 1 small packet in each tube, that will also prevent toning as much as possible you can get these small 1gram selicia gel packets from Amazon for around 4 quid delivered.

I do the same, 4 x 1g packs in each storage case.

Unsure if it works, but it makes me feel better.

Makes us feel better at night when we sleep . On the plus side everytime I open up my box it has that New product smell which I love!

putting in a block of camphor would be a good idea too, and it`s cheap to buy.

use mothballs, the original napthalene sort not the dichlorobenzene modern replacements in your tool box to prevent rust also
