Failed Intercept Shield Album
I just checked by Intercept Shield Album for Silver Eagles. Toning is
developing on several coins. The 1993 eagle shows early signs of classic ring toning. I know some people like toning -- I don't. Bought these Intercept Shield albums to minimize this from happening. We needed time to see if these things actually work? Well, in my experience they don't. These albums have no advantage over any other. Any other Intercept Shield experiences out there? |

I have a 2000 American Silver Eagle that has developed fairly pronounced and unattractive toning inside an Intercept Shield box. It's not in an Internet Shield holder, but I would have expected the box to provide more protection than this over seven years. I'm not in a polluted area, the coins are not near any high-sulfur materials, and the heat and humidity are low where the coins are stored. Right now virtually all of my stuff is in safety flips or slabs inside Intercept Shield boxes. I may just toss the Intercept Shield boxes and go back to the hard plastic boxes, which are less expensive and more convenient, with their three internal compartments. -- Email: (delete "remove this") Consumer: http://rg.ancients.info/guide Connoisseur: http://rg.ancients.info/glom Counterfeit: http://rg.ancients.info/bogos |

I have a set of red Lincoln Cents from 1934 to date in an Intercept Shield album in my house simply sitting on a bookshelf. Afer your post I pullerd the album from its special slipcase and looked at thecoins. I see absolutely no mellowing or deepining of color at all. My high value collection is kept in various large safe deposit boxes in several diferent bank vaults. Th3e slabbed coins (all are in slabs) are in the 2 part Intercept Shield Box system with the small inner capsule in a speciall treated box. None of my coins has changed from what I can see, and I was looking at both red Lincolbn Cents and most Ch BU Type Coins. The white ones have remained white and the toned coins seem to look the same. Perhaps its the controlled climate system of the bank responsible, but that doesn't explain the lack of color change in the raw red Lincolns sitting on an open shelf in my family room. Perhaps the Mint putthese SAE's tru a special bath prior to putting them into presentation boxes and this bath has made the surfaces chemically active. Just a theory. Ira |
