I have a slabbed penny and one side seems to have some slight white fog inside, which is visible when the slab is at an angle. I'm not sure if its fog or not. But the surface of the plastic appears to be undamaged. I stay in a fairly humid environment. I dont think it was like that when I bought it. Any idea what it could be and how to get rid of it?

I would seal this (and all of my other slabs) in a big Ziploc bag with a container of desiccant. Moving forward, you should plan to limit the humidity of your coin storage system.

If it is moisture, leave it on a window sill, in the sun for a while.

Spence has some good ideas on how to prevent the fog re appearing.
