Storage of U.S. Mint bags?

Hello,
I have been collecting the State Quarters since the program started, getting
them from the mint in the U.S. Mint bags, removing them from there
box and stacking them in a safe and leaving them alone.
The other day my brother came over with some extra pennies for one of
my books and saw how I was storing my quarters and told me that I needed
to get them out of the bags and into quarter tubes for proper storage.
Is this correct, am I damaging the quarters by leaving them in the bags?
Not that resale value is my primary reason for collecting the quarters but
if I were to remove them from the bags and put them into tubes would they
then be the same as circulated coins and lose value for not being in the
Mint bags.
Thank you in advance for any advice on this.
Don.

Yes! Get them out of those bags. The coins that are in contact with the bag will acquire a hazy spotty toning. I've seen this happen to coins, in these bags, in just a couple of months.
