How do you make silver coins rust?
Silver (coins) do NOT rust. Rust the iron when oxidised. Silver will oxidise very slowly, to form silver oxide, which is black in colour, This oxidation process can take weeks/months to occur. If you have any silverware, you will normally polish it once a week. this prevents oxidiation. However, if you leave it unpolished for say , 6 months, the silver will appear dull or black in places; this is silver oxide.
What is the process called when you combine metal and oxygen?
The process is called oxidation, where the metal combines with oxygen to form metal oxides. This can result in the formation of rust on iron or tarnish on silver.
Does sterling silver rust?
No. Ferrous metals (iron) rust. However, sterling silver does tarnish, a form of oxidation which is chemically a similar process to rusting but only produces a color change rather than destroying the metal.

Does wood silver aluminum copper gold and steel rust?
(For the purposes of answering this question I am rephrasing it as: "Which, if any, of the following materials 'rust': wood, silver, aluminum, copper, gold, and steel") The word "rust" (a verb) usually refers to the oxidation of iron, or most kinds of steel, to form an oxide of that material (i.e., iron oxide) on the surface, also called "rust" (a noun). More generally, the oxidation of any metal could be called rusting, in which case silver, aluminum, and copper all "rust" to differing degrees. To the best of my knowledge, gold and stainless steel do not oxidize under ordinary atmospheric conditions. (Silver "rust" is usually called "tarnish", copper "rust" "verdigris", and aluminum "rust" "aluminum oxide".) Wood is not a metal (nor an element), and its oxidation is ordinarily a fire producing ash and smoke, complex compounds containing many oxides, but never considered "rust".
What is to silver as rust is to iron?
Tarnish is to silver as rust is to iron. Tarnish is a layer of corrosion that forms on silver when it reacts with sulfur-containing compounds, while rust is the result of iron reacting with oxygen and moisture.
What is the black coating on silver metal?
