No, it can be relatively expensive if bought new, but it has no long-term intrinsic value like sterling silver does, because the silver content is almost nil.
Not when it is wet. but will get black if long exposed in air
Long John Silver's got their name from the Treasure Island character Long John Silver.
Silver tarnishing is a reaction of silver with oxygen to create silver oxide, silver's version of rust.Silver is antimicrobial, but the bacteria have nothing to do whatsoever with the silver tarnishing.So YES, silver will tarnish as long as it has contact with oxygen....and before someone chimes in, argentium sterling also tarnishes, just much more slowly.
There is no author of Long John Silver, but he is a character in Treasure Island, by Stevenson.
