<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 4845808, member: 37839&quot;]I don’t have to write to Q. David Bowers. I could simply ask him, as I have met him numerous times.&nbsp; Many coins were stored so that exposure to air was minimized, not eliminated.&nbsp; My wife has some of the family antique silverware from the “old country” in the UK, from the early 1800s.&nbsp; They are not crusty, nor have they ever been polished in over 100 years, as her mother had them.&nbsp; They are slightly toned, but not particularly dark and deeply toned, as they were in a storage box.&nbsp; Same is true from many coins of that vintage—some were exposed to the elements, and others weren’t.&nbsp; I don’t deny that dipping took place, but not to the exaggerated degree to which you describe.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
