[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 230388, member: 1695"] I'd hate to say it, but it looks like the ring may have been silver plate over copper, despite the .925 hallmark. I have run a couple of .925 rings via cab, and it doesn't tarnish nor do much at all really. The cab mainly reacts to the copper content of 50% silver coins, hence why I think the acid has reacted with the copper in your ring, and caused the silver plating to lift off the copper base. Could be wrong, but from the supplied pics it does seem to make some sense. What ID did you get on the 705 for the ring, that might tell half the story. [/QUOTE]
