Dansco anti-corrosion slipcover report for silver eagles...

I have been buying silver eagles for my room-mate as part of a rent agreement since 2004-- I've already gotten him a complete set and have been buying a fresh, blast white coin in January of each year they came out. Because I wanted them to stay white and toning-free, I purchased a corrision free slipcover for the Dansco set I placed them in from Brent-Krueger..

Again, they were all blast-white when I placed them in the album, and I wasn't hoping for any toning at all. Needless to say, I'm pretty disappointed. image

This is about three years of toning in the light humidty of Sunnyvale, CA. About half of the coins in the album look just like these.

    Looks like some pretty toning to me. I'm sure some people around here would trade you, straight up image

    I am no expert on toning, nor the Dansco album and slipcover. These ASEs have the tendency to tone and usually in an unattractive fashion. I am not sure that one can necessarily blame the album, but from what I have heard here, the Intercept Shield album is better crafted to inhibit toning. Perhaps someone else can shed some more light on this.

    Since the ASE's are .999 fine silver, they will tone more easily than a lot of other silver coins. Just think, if these had been left just out on your nightstand for that same 3 years, they would have some WILD color. The Dansco helps, but it can't stop everything completely.

    I know....totally unattractive! I should just melt these rather than keep them (they have been left out in the open air for a couple of years now...in one of those cheesy SAE holders you get for a buck or so)...reverses are still totally white and untoned....

    Those are pretty, Bochiman!

    I'm not against toning, but my room-mate doesn't even know what toning is. He thought they were somehow getting "dirty" somehow.

    So has anyone figured out a way to keep their silver eagles "blast white"???

    As your post indicates, the slip covers do very little to inhibit toning. Knowing this I still purchase them for my albums only because I think they make a nice holder for the Dansco album.

    If you want to keep the Eagles "blast white" (boring imo), then buy them slabbed instead. That'll go a long way to keeping them "clean". I like the look of that album toning, and yes, Bochi, those coins are cool.

    All mine ASEs are still blast white. I keep them in Intercept Shield 2x2's and then have all the Intercept Shield's in an Intercept Shield box made to fit them. Probably over kill, but I haven't noticed any toning at all.

    I think vacum sealing them while in a intercept shield holder and then storing them in air tight container with silica gel may help. But this is only my opinion.

    Good tips. Thanks! Call me a "coinist" but I like the new ones to stay white!

    Thanks.

    I was a "white silver purist" before too. Now, I can appreciate both blast white as well as naturally toned that looks nice. Nothing wrong with either side but once someone understands that toning can happen in many environments, the easier it is image

    I have bought one per year from the start of the program.
    Each went into an Airtight capsule that somewhat match what the proofs come in.
    Eagle makes a page these fit really well in.
    None show spots or toning.

    AirTites work for me. Out of all of the ASE's I have had over the years, very few if any have toned.
