<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 3250487, member: 77704&quot;]What I find amazing is that silver seems to tone, even when in proof presentation cases. Since 1975, most proof coins were encapsulated, thus the silver kept its perfect original lustre. I collect gold, nice thing about gold it does not tone, even coins retrieved from wrecks have that freshly minted look. However, I have seen silver Talers from the 16 th century that have no toning or patina. Seems incredible that someone back in 1560s Vienna would have acquired a freshly struck Taler and stored it in an airtight environment for 500 years.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> [ATTACH=full]852758[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
