Black spots on my Silver
 

I was wondering about something I notiched when going through my stash. My Silver rounds are starting to get blak spots on them I tried using a cleaner to get it off but it does not budge. Any advise?

PLAGUE !!!!! SILVER BLACK SPOT PLAGUE !!!! THE WORST KIND !!!

Quickly....box it all up, mark "Bio-hazzard" all over the outside, and send it to me.....I can cure it......once cured, I will take 20% and return the rest to you.

Okay all kidding aside what are the black spots? Does it mean its not real silver because it is only happeing with some Englehard rounds that I got for a local dealer.

Silver gets black tarnish when it reacts with sulfur compounds present in air. Nothing to worry about.
