can gold and silver get rusty? and how to polish?

parlanchina asked:


i have a few gold and silver coins. i noticed the silver ones start becoming black all over. i also have a few silver bars closed in a plastic bag so no way air to get in, but even they start getting a bit black inside. i wonder why?? also how about gold? on two of my gold going i saw small rusty dots, is that normal? what to do to prevent this?
By the way, i am 100% sure the gold is a real gold because it is Pamp Suisse (and has Assay Card)

Question about the $0.50 JFK and the president $1 coin circulation?

Sky asked:


Where can I find those? like… I’m talking to my friends on AIM now and one of my friend told me that he got a $1 dollar gold coin with Andrew Jackson’s face on it O_O and like he has a $0.50 JFK coin
So where can I get one? like can I ask my mom to go to the bank and exchange a one dollar bill for a gold coin with a president’s face? =_=
I think Abraham Lincoln is the best president so does anyone know if I could do that? like ask my mom to go to the bank and exchange it =_=
he showed picts of the coin through webcam and it looks pretty neat!!

Coin collectors please help? What is this?

Josh Y asked:


I am having some trouble determining what this is exactly it is: 1821 1947 50 pesos 37.5 G oro puro (pure gold) I have a coin identical to the one on this link http://cgi.ebay.com/50-PESO-GOLD-COIN-MEXICO-1-2-TROY-900-Pure-Mexican-NR_W0QQitemZ220206191559QQihZ012QQcategoryZ547QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem notice how the ladies wings touch the side. Thats a real coin, here is a link to the replica http://cgi.ebay.com/50-PESOS-1821-1947-REPLICA_W0QQitemZ300197584096QQihZ020QQcategoryZ139964QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem the wings still go out to the side yet the coin is smaller. Mine is small like this one, so Im not sure if its a replica or real or a miniature. Mine has something that neither of them have. It has a small star under the right wing (her left wing). And the wings do not go clear to the side. Please help me with this, what is this worth. If you have any info to forward to me please do so yountjoshua@yahoo.com

Thanks,
Josh
