Do they have accellerated tarnshing??

They have pretty much cleaned that industry up, the days of choking when you drove by are over. In the 70's I knew people who worked in a paper mill and I don't remember them as having toned coins, of course those were the days of dipping also.

It is still the 'days of dipping'. And to answer the original question, I grew up in a town with a large paper mill, and no, there was no significant toning. Cheers, RickO

Unknown but probably not.

Now, Yellowstone National Park Rangers might have some stunning collections!

Depends on whether the collector lives down-wind from the paper mill or not.

I worked as a telephone lineman and the steel strand we ran to hold the telephone cables definately suffered greater degradation in the mill towns.

Areas with high sulfur water commonly have accelerated tarnishing of silver. Much of West Virginia, for example.
