Excellent quote from an Excellent Man.
I’ve got a couple of those coins MS/PF tucked away in my ‘shoebox’, but not for long!

VinnieC,
I think any kind of oxygen/gasses, even in very small amounts over years, and in ‘so called’ sealed tubs, etc. are prone to toning silver and gold. Silver especially. One of my ‘junk silver’ boxes is a used Monster Box(definitely not airtight)and the ASE rolls inside all have/had toning on the top coin only(inside the sealed roll)after 14 years.
I also had some Ag bars & rounds in the same box. The old style brittle plastic seal slit open and the air toned the silver bars at the slit. Same with all silver rounds in flips–toning near the opening of the flip. OGP definitely helps to preserve imo. I would also recommend silica gel desiccant packs in anything OGP, boxes, or otherwise.

Major D,
My point is it is hard to tell what causes the toning and preventative measures. I’ve always read that it has been sulfur for older paper. I think the OGP does provide a layer of protection. I had a coin from a foreign mint com in a capsule clam shell case and something like an intercept strip. Most of my silver has not shown any toning. I few not in capsules have. One in a capsule has developed a gold toning that is not to offensive.

I got the Benjamin Franklin Founding Father coin just because I liked the reverse.

Just reporting what I observe Kaiser W. There was plenty of activity in 2019 and 2018 too. Maybe 2020 shows up closer to the top of the search.
BTW best wishes concerning you liver exam.

I try to convey that to my Wife sometimes as I’m reading, blogging, inspecting, or shopping for coins all day…
She just doesn’t get it?
Maybe it’s me that doesn’t get it?

That was the theme of the day back then. “Mind Your Business.” Classic Benjiman Franklin.

Thanks,
I think this may have been brought up before. JQC chimed in on it?
I like the messaging.
Perhaps in 2076 for something similar, but I don’t think I’ll make it to the party.
But 2026 for a 250th reprisal of the design could be worth a gander?

Half of your request was fulfilled in 2006 Rick. The 2006 Ben Franklin, “Founding Father” Ag $1 commemorative reverse. “Benjamin Franklin Commemorative “Founding Father” Silver Dollar Coin”. Link to USM Commemorative Coins page for any interested in the information pertaining to the 2026 Ben Franklin Commemoratives.(2 Ag $1 designs, “Scientist” was the other)

It seems that the “Best of the Mint” has been covered somewhat already?
How about a surprise? Something without a profile, tree, animal, or something PI(Politically Incorrect)…
How about reprising a design that has a simplistic, yet amazingly powerful message on both th Obverse and the Reverse….
