Understand your nervousness, I'm pretty new to the CS thing also. I am not sure that this is going to be helpful, but :-), I'll try here. Real silver coins haven't been made in the USA (for money) in quite some time, so be sure your coins are real silver and not some alloy. If you look at the side of the coin and see a coppery or brassy looking stripe going around the coin as an apparent "layer of the coin" then please *stop* and wait until someone with more experience than I have here can give you better information. If you are reasonably certain that the coin is indeed .999 or better silver, this sounds like what has happened to me when I let the process run too long, I get a black powdery looking smudge around one electrode on the bottom of the glass and the electrode has a black coating that will come off when I wipe it clean (I am using .040 silver wire) and a light greyish deposit on the other electrode that seems to come off pretty easy when I remove that electrode and float around until it sinks to the bottom of the glass. I've been told that this stuff is OK for topical uses. Perhaps someone with more experience with this will answer shortly. Hope this helps in some way :-).
