<p>[QUOTE="Evom777, post: 1005986, member: 27123"]I had trouble with all of my Canadian issues that were .9999. They started to get little dots of haze on them, something totaly different than other coins that have started to tone. They were in air tight holders and purchased from various sources. All were stored in a normal environment. None of my other bullion that are .999 were affected by it at all. </p><p>I even took a few of them out and decided to clean them with Zymol....a cleaner wax that is known to lack some of the harsher chemicals in other waxes. I put them under a Dremel with a cotton buff and went to town......It did not even dull the spot. (Contrary to popular belief, a cotton buff is very minutely abrasive when used on surface that`s not fed with water and will leave very fine lines on metals depending on the amount of pressure applied and rpm) </p><p><br /></p><p>So with my Canadian issues having some sort of impenetrable and unexplainable mold, I decided to trade them. A local dealer looked em over, saw that they were not too bad and still presented very well, and made a trade with me. A few days later somebody had purchased almost all of them from Him, so maybe they were not too bad, but nonetheless I was really ticked off by the "mystery mold" and did not care to keep them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have the silica desiccant packets in with my bullion. I always check the silver on a regular basis and if I had not who knows how bad they could have ended up. I can`t explain why it only happened to the .9999s and not anything else.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
