DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 09/13/2024 12:45 am Does not get any worse than this for fire scaled silver. Silver can absorb oxygen at high temps and conduct the oxygen to the interior of the metal. The oxygen can then bond with the copper atoms causing this deep, black fire scale. Shame too as this 1883 is an S. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.
