[QUOTE="LionelR, post: 1748533, member: 23549"]Hello, I have some coins stored in coin storage boxes I purchased from Wizard Coin Supply (I think). In any case, they are specific coin storage boxes. These boxes are stored in a room in my house. The room is air conditioned, heated, and very comfortable. Nothing about the room seems "weird" or dangerous and nothing has changed in years. A few months ago I purchased 2 Canadian Maples silver and, in a hurry, stacked them atop each other atop one of the boxes. Yesterday I went and took the stack and found this on the top of the stack. The reverse is perfectly fine, as was the coin underneath it. The "cleaned" area across the queen's nose was my finger as I reached in and grabbed the stack; this gunk wipes off easily. Besides "bad", does anyone know what is happening here? It's air-related, and thinking the silver is reacting to it. I am certain there are a zillion things it could be but I'm hoping someone has seen this exact, precise thing before and can lend some thoughts. Nothing inside the coin storage boxes - proofs, raws, albums - seem affected ,and they look quite normal, as they did when I put them in there. I've moved all my coins out of this room. I appreciate any comments. Thank you! -L [ATTACH=full]274520[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
