Purple toned american silver coin

GoldCoinLover

I store one of my 99.999% pure silver coins in a plastic flip. I'm not sure if its PVC or not. On one side it hsa an eagle flying below a bell. On the other side it says: One Troy Ounce .999 fine silver. And over the years I noticed it regained a nice tone of purple

GLC, take your coins out of plastic flips, store them in Mylar 2x2's or airtites. Coin protection is important and if you wish to assemble a nice collection, you've got to listen to your elders.

That might be everybody here...

I know I have to get them out of plastic flips, but I'm no where near a coin store and I don't know where to get airtights. I'm happy that gold doesn't tarnish because my gold coins still look good in those plastic flips. one of those coins I've left in a plastic flip since 1997. 7 years .. I've noticed its lost its luster but not much else
