[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1508079, member: 75105"]This is how I see it. For centuries, silver was polished. It was always kept polished. No one wanted to see dull silver, much less eat with it. People adored the bright and shiny properties of well polished silver. However, and again, it's my opinion, any old coin that has tarnished like that, is ugly. Depending on the conditions silver coins are stored in, they can stay blast-white for many years, or produce an awesome rainbow tones. However, I don't like old silver coins that are dull grey. Here is a draped bust with nice toning. [IMG]http://64.60.141.195/photos/28thumbs/76378.jpg[/IMG] Now here is one that's....dull. [IMG]http://64.60.141.195/photos/28thumbs/76358.jpg[/IMG] Now...if you had the cash, and both of these were the same price? Wouldn't you pic the top one? I would. As a matter of fact, both were graded the same, and the bottom one realized $200 more.[/QUOTE]
