<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kforbes862, post: 2005363, member: 32069&quot;]I was looking through my silver coins last night, i have around 350 of them, and noticed something that i am wondering about. The coins are all stored the same way, in the same place. they are in stapled 2x2&#039;s and put in pvc free binder pages that hold 20 2x2&#039;s per page. Some of the coins are keeping lustre very well, and some are turning very dark, almost black, or getting very dark specks on them. The main ones i noticed coloring this way the worst were a 1934 Fiji Florin, a 1997 Portugal silver proof, a 1941 New Zealand 1/2 crown, and a 1934 German 5 Marks. At first, i thought it may have only been the lower purity silver coins doing this, but the 5 mark is 90%, the rest are 50%. What would the reason be for these few to be coloring this dark so fast? Could it be something that was on them before i got them? or do i need to store them differently?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
