<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 432820, member: 15199&quot;]Actually a very astute question. Cleaning does affect toning. As does dipping. Both expose a fresh &quot;raw&quot; surface of silver ( or copper if a copper based coin) which can react with the current environment more rapidly than a coin that has not been so treated. </p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, it could sit there for the 24 years and show little visible change. The condition of the coin when it went it, the holder ( pvc or not) and very importantly, the amount of moisture there to activate and spread any chemical corrosion ( toning, tarnish, etc. ) over the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>and Welcome! Personally I like your coin, worn down in useful commerce. There are not many prominent marks on it. My first coin was a 1921 Morgan also:smile&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Jim</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
