That "tint" on silver coins is called "tone". Do not remove the toning, polish, or clean the coin as it will decrease the coins value. A 100 year old coin should not look as if it was freshly minted yesterday.

Toning is the result of sulfides in the air, Sulfur dioxide, temperature, time, and moisture.

The most desirable is "rainbow toned" coins. Collector will often pay hundred of dollars more for coins showing varying bands of color.

How can you tell the difference between a silver and a copper-nickel 1776-1976 dollar?

Silver bicentennial dollars were only sold in 3-piece Bicentennial sets along with Washington quarters and Kennedy half dollars. All carry an S mint mark. The coins were made of clad silver comprising outer layers of 80% silver / 20% copper bonded to an inner core with those percentages reversed. The core tends to have a grayish tint to it. Circulation bicentennial dollars were only minted at Philadelphia (no mint mark at that time) and Denver (D). The core is pure copper so it will have either a shiny copper or dark brown color.

What color is ash brown?

It is a "lighter" shade of brown, but on the cool side, without reds, or warm tints. Ash brown refers to the "gray" tint of ash (not the "black"), not silver gray you get when you get old, but a slight tint of gray. And no, there's no "black" involved.Ash has a green tint which disallows redish mousey tones to appear in brown. It is more dusty than gray.


Why does silver tarnish blue?

Silver tarnishes blue when it comes in contact with sulfur compounds in the air or on the skin. These sulfur compounds react with the silver to form a thin layer of silver sulfide on the surface, giving it a blue tint. Regular cleaning and storage in airtight containers can help prevent this tarnishing.
