Toning is just tarnish. The metal in the coins oxidize (and in the case of silver, needs hydrogen sulfide to tarnish, which is in the air in...
And just in case you were thinking of breaking them out of the holder and "cleaning" them, no that wont increase the value. Even if tarnished...
It does not, however, appear to be yellow or polka-dotted. God, I'm old.
I stick to 1 ounce coins, either US Eagles or Buffalos depending on the price I can get. I dont care about the year since its all bullion to me....
Interesting topic. Melt value vs. cost of production needs to be noted, but it appears it is illegal to melt coinage for its base metal value. I...
Do Coinstar machines reject silver coins? If so I will be sure to check the one at our Grocery store everytime I am there - maybe some silver in...
It shows a 14 day return policy, a good sign. No conditions on it, so you should be okay. I know its a hassle to return stuff, but at least it...

I actually get irritated when I get Canadian coins in my change. I usually don't notice it until its too late. It is as if the merchant doesn't...
What's wrong with a little green goo? LOL. And I think MS65 for that example is a stretch. Looks to have had some old cleaning done - maybe a...
If you really want to invest in silver, buy from a reputable dealer and stick with coinage like American Silver Eagles. As I see it, you have two...
I like the description in the link Christian provided: "dog at their feet either eating or vomiting". Why would you want a picture of a dog...
I think you have to click the Browse button. Lots of images of coins there.
