This coin seems to have deteriorated in its holder. Did you buy it looking like this?

yes, I found a dozen or so of these for both years in Florida rather from coin shops in Florida for this year and 1976 over the last decade.

I trust the price reflected this deterioration?

They were not expensive at all. But, I liked a couple I saw a few years later on another trip and picked one up there and I've found a few other cheap ones bundled on-line.

A deep colorful obverse but lost it's D/CAM designation . Reverse maintained it's D/CAM state . Gotta love that Florida humidity .

I've heard them referred to as Florida sun spots.

Looks like someone sneezed on it and put a black light over it.

I can see that. or opened a bottle of champagne next to it a New Year's and some sprayed on the coin.

This is a quite normal toning pattern for a Lincoln proof.
