<p>[QUOTE=&quot;robinjojo, post: 7886349, member: 110226&quot;]That&#039;s a nice coin, Nathan.&nbsp; I agree that it should be left as is.&nbsp; It&#039;s an ancient coin, after all, and with the passage of time it will darken, as any respectable ancient coin, bronze or silver, should.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve seen so many coins cleaned so that they are nice and shiny - perhaps nice is not an appropriate word in this context.&nbsp; Regardless, for silver, what is shiny today will be black in the future.&nbsp; It&#039;s an unstoppable process, unless the coin is kept in a perfect vacuum. Maybe, in the not-to-distant future, collectors will be able to have their coins stored in outer space, protected from all those nasty gamma and ultraviolet rays, to be forever preserved, unaltered by time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t wait.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
