Eagle changed

scooter25scooter25 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭✭

So I am moving some stuff and I find am American eagle in one of my drawers that I had forgotten about. (Tbis is not normally how I store my coins) It was blast white when I put it in there and now it is certainly not. I kind of like it but what do you think?

    You may just have hit on the age-old alchemist mystery of how to turn silver into gold!! Give it a few more years to complete the transformation........ ;)

    Not bad. Just out of curiosity, where do you live? This looks like high humidity toning to me, but that is just a guess.

    Does humidity toning make a difference?

    You probably raised its value. Take it out now before it is terminal and replace it with a new "white" SE. :)

    Nice toning, but time to do some laundry - something in that drawer must be really ripe.

    Wow this turned quickly! I was surprised to see 2015 as the date. I was thinking more on the lines of ten years of toning, not just a couple!!!!

    If there wasn't a glaring flaw above the lettering I would slab it

    Thank you -
    Pretty neat combination of coloring IMO.
    Magic in the US Mint box !
    Turn it over and store it again ?

    Nice looking! I agree to leave it in there for a while longer and them blues should start gaining ground.

    Hmmm. Maybe I'll keep an ASE in a wood box... with holes... at the bottom of my dirty clothes hamper.

    No, he said it was in his drawers not socks -- must have been very uncomfortable. Gives you an idea of how often some change their drawers, too. :)

    leave it in the exact same local for another year or so and watch it progress through a few more stages.

    And while your at it, throw a few more silver coins in that drawer just for
    Experimental purposes. ;)

    Weimans tarnish remover will work wonders. 2 second dip and you will have a nice pretty coin again.

    Toning from being in the felt holder.
    I've had a few tone from that before as well...presentation case was felt and the SAEs were displayed but not in plastic holders.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
