<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 18504281, member: 104064"]I disagree with the whole premise that an "old" silver coin that is still bright white has to have had something done to it. Below have been in my possession for 50 years. I pulled the second two from circulation myself, and grandpa obtained the first one around 1945. Nothing has ever been done to them, all pushing 60-80 years old. My pictures suck but they're every bit as "bright white" as the 1884-CC posted above. If they had been pulled straight from the bank, and more conscientiously stored, they would look even better. We can quibble about all the little details of how someone defines "bright white" and "toning" and etc ad nauseam, but with proper storage these coins will still look like this another 50 years from now. Blanket statements like this deserve some push back. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1537658[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
