<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 35796, member: 1101&quot;]I have been in your shoes, so this is not anything I have not been through, but with experience you will learn to change your attitude on toning.&nbsp; It is a fact of life that as things get older, they age a bit.&nbsp; In the case of coins this often means toning,&nbsp; If you are looking for a coin to put in a time capsule, MAYBE you could put the sort of thought into it that you are using as the basis of this question.&nbsp; Otherwise, I would not worry so much about it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Silver does tone/tarnish faster in some circumstances, but in my mind cupronickel can suffer more serious damage faster.&nbsp; In other words, silver can corrode, but it does not happen as fast as it can happen with a copper-based alloy.&nbsp; Also, if you look at older clad coins, they really do darken up over time – they usually do not stay bright and shiny any more than silver does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
