<p>[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 1883581, member: 21782"]Yep, back when I started collecting in the 1960’s/1970’s, most expected 20th century silver coins to be white, even some 19th century coins were often dipped to make them white. Even though today toning is appreciated, the market expects newer coins, especially those in mint “air-tites” to be white, I guess because the technology/knowledge exists to keep them original. Unfortunately, in the mint’s quest for more & more profit, their mishandling of the coins often dooms them before they’re encapsulated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
