zxcccxz Pillar of the Community Canada 5417 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 8:57 pm Awful. I have a friend with a PCGS MS67 and it started getting some purple toning. Looks awful now compared to its previous mirror like cameo surfaces. Report this Post to the Staff

scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 9:55 pm Quote: Looks like it was the victim of improper storage. Is there any way of determining the age of the slab? I'm guessing that the coin was slabbed long before the enviro damage was present. I have a couple of tubes of steel, and over the years I've discovered a few that have developed similar problems. When I find them, I cull them from the tube and add them to my tubes of circulated steel. Report this Post to the Staff

Its not the one theyve been using for months (maybe a year cant remember exactly) now so its had some time turn if it wasnt being stored well. Thats also assuming it was never reholdered and thats it origional slab, could be much longer if that was the case. Report this Post to the Staff
unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 10/15/2013 12:10 am That "graying" is the result of electrical conductivity from humid air. http://www.infinitechfinishing.com/...Article7.htm Report this Post to the Staff
unholyroller Pillar of the Community United States 1903 Posts	Posted 10/15/2013 12:16 am Most relevant part of the article to this thread... In dry air, a protective layer of oxide soon forms on an untreated zinc surface, and subsequent attack is slow. In moist air, zinc hydroxide forms first on the surface, and is then converted to zinc carbonate. If the surface has not been chromated, the carbonate takes the form of a bulky, loose layer, often described as white rust, or wet storage stain.8 In confined spaces, zinc is attacked by organic acid vapors emitted by woods, plastics, and various insulating materials 8.

wheatchaser140 Pillar of the Community United States 2368 Posts	Posted 10/15/2013 09:28 am It probably was MS-67 before the guy ate off of it or something... Report this Post to the Staff
giorgio11 Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 10/15/2013 09:45 am The slab is at least several years old, I could figure it out more precisely but macht's nichts. Best Regards, George Report this Post to the Staff
