Tarnish on Dug Silver

[ripvanb]

Is it normal for tarnish to develop on dug silver coins? On a few of my Roosevelt’s I’ve dug they are developing a yellowish/gold color to them. They came out of the ground looking like new.

Yes, it is.

Time for more coffee.

 

[CoinHELP!]

Yes, the silver and balance of copper will react to the elements and their environment after they're dug from the ground.

Here in Mi silver comes out of the ground like it was dropped the same day
