sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21794 Posts	Posted 04/15/2022 8:41 pm Toning it is. Although I am not a fan of toning generally, the toning in this case is not unattractive. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 16056 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 06:55 am Can't say for sure, appears to be toning. Nice gem state example. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
commems CCF Master Historian of Commemorative Coins United States 12668 Posts	Posted 04/16/2022 09:57 am Have you had the coin long? Have you noticed changes to the appearance of its surfaces over time? Do the images accurately reflect the color/appearance of the coin's surfaces? From the PCGS holder, it's safe to say that they coin has been encapsulated for 30+ years but coins can change appearance in a holder. The images appear to indicate that the coin has developed a "skin" that has muted its luster. This could be the result of how the coin was stored before it was submitted to PCGS, or it could be completely natural. I can't say for sure from the images. Because it was inspected "in hand" by the folks at PCGS many years ago, I will lean (with 90% confidence) towards the coin being naturally toned. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time!

Dearborn Moderator United States 112113 Posts	Posted 04/17/2022 12:39 am My first thought was from initial PVC exposure then sent off to PCGS. I do like the look of it though - that and the VERY old holder it is in. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

I've seen a lot of PVC on coins in rattlers. Maybe they had softer standards for PVC back then. If it was re-sent in to PCGS, it would surely get a bodybag if that was PVC.
