llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 01/09/2019 06:30 am Typically silver tarnish is silver sulfide, not what you stated which has me confused. Where did you learn about silicon being found in silver tarnish? The dip can dissolve the silver sulfide from the surface, which will then be fresh silver and very susceptible to fast re-toning if not protected. As it stands, the native silver oxides and sulfide on the surface have passivated it, protecting the coin's surface to an extent. You take that away and more silver will react with the atmosphere. Repeating this process further removes silver from the coin's surface. Edited by llewellin 01/09/2019 06:31 am Report this Post to the Staff

MS70 plus dipping it, the coin will come out an ugly dull gray. Edited by USSID18 01/09/2019 12:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff
