<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2545325, member: 67527&quot;]There are a lot of factors....Some of these coins I purchased on E bay and could not tell you where they were stored and most of them I had for several years.&nbsp; I can tell you that I lived in Wahiawa, Hawaii and was there for 3 years when I was in the U.S. Army.&nbsp; I know for a &quot;fact&quot; that the oxidation on the silver of my coins expedited the toned look my coins have due to the excessive &quot;salts&quot; in the air.&nbsp; I lived close to the North Shore and if you know anything about Hawaii...you will know that is where the surfers like to surf; thus I lived close to the ocean.&nbsp; I have asked this question and when I mention that I lived in Hawaii...almost ALL those that I talked to said that this is the reason my silver coins are so toned.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t heard anyone refute this...so I tend to believe this.&nbsp; JMHO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
