I like the toning. The only way to keep like this it is if you can vacuum the slab where you put. I also ask the TPG's why they do not vacuum the slabs? The answer is to costly, hihihihi. all the electronics parts come vacuum for a 5 cent sell part and it is not costly but a 30 $ evaluation is to less to has a vacuum slab. I am sick of those innocents.

silviosi, don't take this the wrong way, but have you heard about the program grammarly? It's really, really, really hard to understand what you're trying to convey.

I'll try to explain what I mean.

What does "vacuum" mean? Slabs are sonically sealed, so while they are not air tight, nor are they vacuum sealed (if that's what you're implying).

I think what you're trying to say is that they said it cost too much to do. Which if you're talking about vacuum sealing slabs it would be.

I have literally, no clue what you're saying. The only thing I might understand is that you're saying you think a vacuum sealed slab should be standard if you're paying $30?

At this price level, not spending money on the slab would have been cheaper, and with no change in the grade. A tight fitting capsule would have cost no more than $1. A capsule would have been a bit more coin-like tactile, and still possible to put it in a 20 pocket album page.
Slabs and capsules both made out of hard clear acrylic plastic.

Because the TPG slab does not have a perfect seal, so the air outside the slab will eventually find its way in.

Horror vacui.

Probably, but my goal was to have a slabbed type set, so spending a bit isn't a huge turnoff. Coin is still worth north of $180 I'd wager.

Very cool. The outer cladding is copper-nickel, correct? The type of toning is similar when copper-nickel and even pure nickel coins are subjected to either water or high humidity.

Case in point - you can get some pretty wild toning with the first year (1982) the Royal Canadian Mint switched their 5-cents from pure nickel to copper-nickel. This one is from a proof set.

I'll hand it to PCGS, toning is darn hard to photograph - their photographers seem to do it extremely well. The eye-appeal in that dime you shared is fantastic.

@ Grape Collect,

Late 4 days? Sorry have to do some reports. I will explain you with my incorrect grammar. the English is my last of 5 I learn and still learn.

Why I say wacuum?
Quote:
Vacuum, space in which there is no matter or in which the pressure is so low that any particles in the space do not affect any processes being carried on there. It is a condition well below normal atmospheric pressure and is measured in units of pressure (the pascal). A vacuum can be created by removing air from a space using a vacuum pump or by reducing the pressure using a fast flow of fluid, as in Bernoulli's principle.


In the case of toning a vacuum will be the best. Also on all slabs if will be vacuum the coins will not oxide inside.

Look the video and you will understand. And for your knowledge: I work with the all 4 major TPG's even I have contradictions on the way the industry is going.

And to answer, to the toning with out have on hand: I do not thing it is a natural toning. I will disappoint someone? maybe. The natural toning will attack the highs of the letters and the rim last.

Is very nice toning. I do not see the yellow first, which it is the first spectrum color.

Well I can admire your dedication to language. I've learned (and forgotten) a total of 4, so you've got me beat.

I actually linked that same exact video on the first page.

Well, I can't say I work with a fourth, but I do work with PCGS, NGC and ANACS. If you know him, I just recently spoke with Miles Standish regarding some... interesting coins...


Quote:

Okay, so you're saying vacuum sealing would be best since there would be no contaminants to oxidize with the surface of the coins. Got it. Yeah that would be nice in an ideal world, though is less feasible.


Quote:

Categorically wrong. The rims often tone FIRST. Look at American silver eagles. Many, many have blast white surfaces but rainbow toned edges and rims.

I do...

I couldn't agree more. Especially on this coin. Granted, I have 0 photography ability so anything is better than me!

I meet Miles a few times. Very open mind. but business is business you know. Sorry for my pushover and not see your link. So you are in the same boat. Good to know, hope to see you at the first ANA to come. Your are wright PCGS and ANACS do fantastic photos. NCG less. IC use with me electronics.

You see the yellow because you have the coin, me on the screen I do not see, sorry.

Send for cert, and if it is correct, Bob I thing still be with them, you has a 1.5-2K coin.
