The reverse of this 1937 Mercury, graded MS-66 FB by NGC, was untoned when I purchased the coin back in the mid-1990s. The obverse remains unaffected except for a bit of toning above Liberty's head and along the top of the rim.

I didn't think coins were suppose to tone in TPG holders, but I don't mind how this one looks.

Yes, all interesting toning pics.
It is a matter of degree, because the black is the terminal, but before it gets there it can take on some pleasant tones.
I have seen some of my new purchases since 2009 starting to tone. I live in a central conditioned house in the mid-south with no special coin storage except in OGP in food safe rubbermaids.
Just to look at it, I put a raw 5 ozt Silvertown loaf bar of Ag on my desk where I work and smoke. Before long it had the golden hue of tobacco tarnish upon it! Wow, that was quick and very definitive.
So, I dipped it, and it is now back white again and in storage as if new.

Not really cause I keep them in a pretty controlled environment and I haven't really noticed anymore toning but I do have some silver and clad coins that have been in my shed for a number of years and they are toning....some more than others. Hopefully they will turn out nice. Will dig em out this summer and check em again.
