Silver and gold are two distict elements. A silver material can be turned into gold only through a series of nuclear reactions, since a direct convertion through a single nuclear reaction is not possible.

well you could get some silver, and shoot some protons and netrons to collide with the silver and you will change the element from Au to Ag. You should also learn some of the laws of Alchemy and the rules of equivalent exchange. ONe more thing before you do this. If the goverment finds out your making gold using alchemy, you will be in big trouble. Bye Bye

Most likely you tarnished the silver or coated it with the Coke.
There is a kit for gold electroplating on ebay.com and HSN.com used to sell one that they use to coat their quarters gold and sell them.

It's probably a cheap silver plating and you revealed the 'base metal' (usually a copper alloy) underneath.

When silver is slightly tarnished, it has a golden color. Silver tarnish is brown; if it gets very tarnished, it looks black though.
