Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 9:03 pm Unless you have well water, I suspect there is not much sulfur in your water. I imagine its the heat of the drying cycle that contributes to the accelerated toning. "Cereal tastes better with a silver spoon" LOL. Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth? You just gave me a great excuse to tell my wife I want to buy some silver flatware. Honey, the food, it just tastes better! Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/01/2018 9:44 pm The food DOES taste better with a silver plated spoon and yes, that's an old family tradition we had. Every kid got a baby spoon made of Sterling silver with engraved initials or name. I lost mine 30 years ago. I do have well water for those who have missed that. Lots of Sulphur in it but it is pretty well filtered. I do my dishes in hot water of course. It's best I forget about this dime for awhile. I think that the coating it has is already established maybe. I'll see what the sun does. ( Whenever we get some sunshine anyway. ) Rain galore. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 03/11/2018 1:56 pm I don't think my dime is going to change much anymore. I have a theory that the toning has made some sort of shield against it turning any further. It might be a little bit more golden toned than last time I updated but it seems it has stalled. Besides, this is almost as exciting as watching paint dry. I bet that every coin would tone differently anyway. So, in this small study, I will conclude that the water did have some effect but nothing dramatic on this particular coin. Report this Post to the Staff
