Narural toning (of coins) for my grandchildren

[Regis44]

I've had pennies and dimes in blue Whitman folders since the early '60's. A few of the wheats are corroded (ugly) but, mostly all appear as they did back then. I expect to pass these and some others one day to my grandchildren.

QUESTION: How should I keep them so that in 40 or so more years, they aquire legitiment and beautiful toning like I see on some of the posts?

If they haven't toned in 40 years then they are going to need a new home for the next 40 if you expect toning to form. Did Wayte Raymond make an album for small cents? If so that would be the first place to start......you could also leave then in the whitman folder and place sheets of tissue paper or other type of paper with a higher sulfer content within the album and close it back up?

I have some Jefferson nickels that have been housed in a Whitman Album since 1980 and they have not toned even one iota.
