Newer mint bags still tone coins

coinsarefun

I put a roll of SBA's in a mint bag about one year ago.
I was looking through today and saw that some are toning.
Actually making SBA more appealing


Granted that it is not huge toning but its only been a year and the mint bag is in my safe

I thought that the mint bags don't allow them to tone like the old ones did?
Or is it toning because it is open to the air?
You can see the crescent shape on the obverse where other coins were lying on it.

The problem is, no matter how much that one tones, it will always be a SBA

I actually opened a mint sealed bag of Peace Jefferson nickels recently. There was some nice toning on a lot of them and the bag is only a few years old.

I put a unopened roll of state quarters in a walnut wood box for about five years and the end coin turned dark purple. I was really surprised to see a copper-nickle coin tone so much.

If by "old coins" you mean 90% silver - they tone much easier.
I think they put nickel in stainless steel. So you really have to work to tone copper nickel.
