I have owned these coins for decades and stored them in the same manner, so I figured they'd look pretty similar after awhile of being exposed to the same elements. Also, is there a preference for either tone? Report this Post to the Staff

Philmow New Member United States 19 Posts	Posted 02/16/2021 4:32 pm I think the goldish hue with luster looks pretty cool as well. A bit more interesting, though it doesn't seem correct compared to a lustrous silver one. Thanks for the responses! Report this Post to the Staff
