Silver tarnishes in the presence of sulfur. There is sulfur in eggs (in fact, the smell of rotting eggs is usually hydrogen sulfide.) So it was probably the sulfur in the eggs tarnishing the piece of silver.Rwolf wrote:Also silver is suppose to help cleanse wounds and injuries. Dunno if that this technique actually works, but my Mother when I was little, would put a hard boiled egg into a thin cloth with silver wedged into the egg.
