Everyone should take this with whatever size grain of salt they feel appropriate...<br /><br />http://silverdoctors.com/cnt-sold-out-of-all-physical-silver/<br /><br />This is the place that supplies silver coins and bars to the places like Gainesville coins where people order silver.<br /><br />There are currently long waits being assigned to orders (almost a month for some items)... and I think there's a slight possibility they may not be filled according to the link.<br /><br />So like you said try you local coin shops, look for items you can take home right then. <br /><br />I'm not disparaging the online stores. Just providing some cautionary news.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12967355941603195101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-52682039645012061682013-04-16T09:24:36.126-04:002013-04-16T09:24:36.126-04:00Very true.

Over longer periods the silver turns black, though easily cleaned. Take a glass dish, a piece of aluminum foil (to line the dish) and a good tablespoon or two of baking soda. Place your silver on the bottom and pour in a cup or two of boiling water. Magic happens. Allow the pieces to soak for a few minutes then gently wipe with a clothe or paper towel. Most if not all the toning will disappear and the black will wipe off. Many collectors like their silver toned. They say it adds a bit of beauty to their pieces. By in the day aristocrats hired democrats to clean their silver...but those days are long gone.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752401490789789451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7507051756134115711.post-43088388155202459602013-04-15T16:48:44.811-04:002013-04-15T16:48:44.811-04:00Is this a lighting issue or is this silver toned &...Is this a lighting issue or is this silver toned "brown" for a reason?
