- Certain tarnish is self-sealing, as an incrusted patina can prevent further corrosion on an ancient coin. Tarnish begins with chemical reactions in a coin�s nicks and scratches caused by air, moisture, sweat, dirt, body oils, human breath and acids. If it looks nice on the coin, you can call it luster, if not, it�s tarnish. Spanish: L�stre.
