Message:: [QUOTE="Fifty, post: 864717, member: 24555"]About 10 years ago I was younger and dumber, now I'm just older. Anyway I let this fellow collector at work talk me into dipping some of my ASE's to get rid of the tarnish. I don't clean collector silver coins but I thought bullion was just like a tea service. Some of these ASE's are discolored and spotted.  If I ever tried to sell them how much would I be penalized. I see places like AMPEX selling coins they call "scruffy" and "cleaned" at a lower price. If I tried to sell to them at their buy price for random year ASE's would they cry foul? I"m not trying to pull anything I just want to know what the FMV would be. All of my ASE's are in Whitman plastic snap holders. I've seen all the articles on here on toning. If I just let them be and allow them to "retone" is it a big deal? I have put all of my recent bullion purchases in Airtites.[/QUOTE]
