Does tarnishing impact the value of a numismatic coin?
How about those 999/9 semi numismatic ( wildlife serious,pandas,privy...) silver coins?

Tarnish, or as it's often called, toning, splits opinion.
Some like it, some don't. Those that like it call it toning. Those that don't tarnish. Few are neutral.
Me, like most Brits, like it. OK, there are occasions when it can be ugly, I admit. But some tone to a coin generally means it hasn't been messed with, which is good.
But not the monster colours which seem popular in the US, but most of us over the pond regard as artificial.
As for Pandas and other bullion, my view is their value is the silver, so toned, dinted or whatever, so long as the weight is right who cares. Though I suspect those that collect the things for their appearance will generally not favour tarnish.
I could be wrong though!

Toning, especially if the colors are attractive, can drive the price of a coin up quite a bit.

Hello, tarnishing does depreciate a coins value especially if it is of newer circulation, although for older years the presence of tarnish can potentially drive up their prices a bit in comparison to toning.

Putting a finish on the surface of PM products isn't news. NWT Mint has been doing it to their Silver Bullet Bullion since they started that series and it was old news at that time.
