While there, it was weighed and certified with the hash mark. I read that these were sometimes repackaged into bags of 100 and then the bags were exchanged intact instead of the individual coins.

It is in my type coin set in an Intercept Shield album. The cardboard in impregnated with reactive chemicals that “intercept”&nbsp; the chemicals that tarnish silver - by being more reactive than silver. I think they are reversing some of the dark toning, allowing the coin to become more colorful. Regrettably, these are my only pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1573097[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
