silverexile Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 09/05/2014 1:41 pm Hi all,, Just got this, an interestingly toned ASE. Any idea of how this happened? I know there is no additional value one way or the other but I liked it. Bought with 2 1990 others that showed more normal levels of tarnish. Thanks as always for your thoughts. howed more 'normal' tarnish. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

For some reason a lot of people seem to think wrapping coins in a napkin or tissue protects them. I see a lot of "shoebox" collections stored like that. Report this Post to the Staff

silverexile Valued Member United States 205 Posts	Posted 09/05/2014 2:31 pm Since posting, I have done some searching and found out it is not unusual.. not that I thought it reall ywas.. it is more about the shape and color .. and the untoned dots. The other two are dully tarnished, even though they have a lot of blue in them and will probably test clean them with Baking soda, to see how they some out.. this one could be a keeper as is Report this Post to the Staff
