thedeadpoint Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar - Proof-66. what is that dark toning caused by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyd Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 "1941 Walking Liberty Half Dollar - Proof-66. what is that dark toning caused by?" Oxidation due to exposure at some point to potentially a number of contaminants, including heat, dampness, pollution, etc. The patina of a silver coin is vulnerable to anything that hits it -- BU silver coins should always be stored in dark, dry and cool environments, and away from airborne pollutants -- easier said than done...

Thanks tommyd, I was more curious about the black specks in the center. Its a type of toning I never really come across. Perhaps why I got it for a decent deal.
