I would suspect some silver polish and rubbing would remove it but would damage the coin.

 to CCF. You seem to have the sides of coins mixed up. The "heads" side is the obverse, the "tails" side is the reverse. Your coins are toned on the reverse side. I have seen it too. This makes the light theory stand right up and say "it was me". This is the side exposed to light almost all of the time due to the leather sleeve they come in. I don't think it is from the plastic case itself, or both sides would show the same condition. But, what about a reaction with the light in the plastic itself, only effecting the side exposed? You say you have seen it on a 2017 set, this means it doesn't take very long in the right conditions. You also say you dipped them.  . So are you good for an experiment maybe?  . Can you put the 2017 set back into the same conditions, only flip the inner case to expose the obverse side to the same lighting? Just wondering what would happen to the fresh side. I think you may get the golden toning on this side too. It's not unattractive, but it just doesn't seem natural, yet. It will probably grow on me. It would be  to figure out whats going on here.

Thanks for the input so far.Okicoiner can you give me an example of the proper stapling method?
Loonielewy...thanks for clarification on the obverse/reverse. Since the tails side is always frontward in the cases, I assumed it was the obverse. As for the experimenting, I would try it on the 2017 10c and 5c since there not worth much.

I have seen it on late 90's early 2000's sets, I used to break those sets apart and sell as individuals, I don't think I have any more examples of them left (breakup price and acquisition cost became too close), but it is definitely not a a relatively recent issue. Not sure on cause and I remember it being frequent on only one side of the coin.

You can just use a small set of pliers (preferably flat-nosed, non-grooved) and just crimp them down flat.

Any chance these have been lacquered?

sorry to be the sober second thoughts on this, but our memories are being boiled by the heat these days? I can easily count 2 other threads about the exact same thing, one where the coin was sent into 3rd party grading.
this is only toning.

Ace_ftw,
I think in all 3 (or more) threads, toning was to blame by most who posted. I don't think anyone is debating that.
The question is why and how these coins are turning goldish in colour so quickly? And consistently?
I've held several coins at Canada post locations with the same toning that are no where near old enough to have such a drastic change in colour under normal circumstances.

Another question is why does this type of toning not come off by dipping it in a silver cleaning solution?

Abnormal conditions caused this, or more sets would show the same, but what were they? Any chemists out there have an opinion? Just off the cuff, what about different types of lighting? Incandescent, fluorescent, LED, halogen, metal halides, neon, etc... or even a combo of 2 or more. . Something is going on to speed up the process.

Or do we need to invent a new dip? . "We are poor little lambs...who have lost our way...Baa...Baa...Baa"
