So it was the Manganese, huh?
Back in 2004 I bought some Sac dollars thru the mail.
These were "hand-selected coins for their briliance and stike". Baloney--they just fished them out of a roll and sent them to me in a couple of flips. Eight years later I take a look at them and they all look like they've got smoke damage. Should I blame the flip or were these coins destined to tarnish? |

My own "brilliant" Sac collection is, for the most part, intact (my 2x2s are pretty tight). They still have full luster, but the loose ones have tarnished somewhat. My 2000 mint roll is still wrapped, but the end coins have tarnished/toned. I can't say whether it's the manganese in the alloy or not, but Sacs (and Prexibux) have a notoriety for coffee-colored toning. Jerry |

Should have used airtites, maybe a one-time wipe with a clean cotton cloth before putting them in. However, can't imagine that there is any financial loss, and the coins will always be great historical artififacts hearkening us to those great glorious days when we still had a real economy and a President who was (and still is) an actual American citizen. oly |
