What Should I do About This?

[KevjustKev]

Yes, I know it's only a Brit and bullion too, yet I don't wish the 'toning' to get worse. Take it out of the pack and put in In a capsule, or leave it be?

Your ideas well be welcomed.

You need to remove it from your collection immediately, waste no time, do it now before it infects the other coins and to be extra safe remove it from your home completely.

My address details shall follow.

Its slightly odd to be toning in a sealed pack no? There must be a breach of some sort allowing air to get in.

I'd take it out myself.

I will happily melt it down!

I have no doubts about that what so ever.

Tone is there now, i say let the tone go free.  Put it on a shelf or something see if it tones more in some attractive way that will add value for those that like toning.

You can see a tear in the plastic, right on top of where the majority of toning is on the reverse.

It adds character

[mikeiones32]

yeah, embrace the toning and have it as a coin to handle

as vand says, adds character

[Norskgeld]

Put it in a glass of vinegar and see what toning effects you get...can't hurt!!! 😀

[Bullionaire]

I would take it out and just use it as a play piece. Or you could try silver Polish if you really want it shiny. Not like there's much numismatic value to destroy!

Take it out of the plastic. If the toning bothers you that much, dip it now or just put it in a capsule and see how it goes. ou can always dip it later down the line.

Id take it out and stick in on a window cill. I had an eagle that was like that, they can turn out very nice. As others have said it adds character.

Terrible answers. And "just a Brit"?? Britannias are gorgeous bullion coins.

DO NOT POLISH. To restore your Brits to their normal, perfect form, use the baking soda and aluminum foil method.

1. Boil some water.
2. Line a plastic or glass bowl with aluminum foil, or use a disposable aluminum foil food tray (pie tarts, single-serving meatloaf pans, etc.)
3. Toss in a tablespoon of baking soda, and a teaspoon of salt (preferably pure salt if you have it). Then pour in the water.
4. Place one coin in, let it rest on the aluminum foil at bottom. Flip it after about 20 seconds, wait another 20, then remove. Your tarnish will be gone.
5. Rinse with water, towel dry, let them air out for a bit before putting them in capsules or Ziploc snack bags (smaller than sandwich bags – ideal).

You might be able to work in the second coin at the same time depending on the size of the bowl. If not, you might need a fresh batch of water, baking soda, and salt.

That was my first though when I read the first post!  Send it to BYB for re-configuration!!

Nice method. There is also some kind of dipping liquid(don't know how to call it), that you can buy. Is that safe as well?

I don't know much about the dipping liquids. I've read some good reviews somewhere, but I like the baking soda and aluminum foil method because it's vetted, gentle, and effective. The relevant chemistry of the method is described here: http://blog.teachersource.com/2014/01/18/chemistry-of-tarnished-silver/
