<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1721251, member: 26302"]I disagree about the toning. Heck, I have put a freshly cleaned, (freshly dug), Parthian silver in a manila envelope for a couple of years, (to be honest left it in the envelope and forgot I owned it), and it came out with toning. Freshly cleaned silver behaves very similarly to freshly minted silver. Remove the horn silver and get down to bare metal, and the silver now exposed to air will tone all over again. Heck, if I owned the OP's coin I would be half tempted to do this on purpose to "tone down" the bright shiny silver appearance. Look at all of the toned RR silvr coins Doug. You really do not think they are the result of chemicals do you? I have quite a few coins that I pulled out of 1950's era manila envelopes, (I kept many of them, from like Mystic stamp company), and all I have pulled out of these old manila's were toned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
