If the planchet wash was the reason then why is it that all of the other silver coins of the time were not affected in the same way ?</p><p><br /></p><p>While the mint was known, and still is known, to change things like the wash solution, they used the same wash solution on all planchets of the same metalic content. In other words all silver planchets were of the same identical alloy so they washed all the various denomination planchets in the same wash solution. And yet they all toned quite colorfully - but yet the Peace dollar did not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus the only viable reason is still the unique surface finish that the Peace dollar has.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
