As he would have properly neutralized it prior to submission.
This could be the poster-child why you should be required to take a IQ Test prior to buying a jar of dip

Not good!
That is terrible. I WOULD NOT have something like that in my collection. Think I would plant that in a parking lot for someone to find, already slabbed.
PCGS guarantees their grades. If you send it back to them I'm sure they'll conserve it for you.

Yes it most likely took well more than a decade after being graded to progress turning to this level.
Wow.... I have never seen a slabbed coin like that before... and such a great commemorative too....Cheers, RickO

Beautiful coin destroyed by negligence. Love that Commemorative, so sad.

Amazing toning! Should bring a double nuclear price!

Yes, haven't you learned yet to 'buy the slab, not the coin'?

The description of 'dark toning' leaves something to be desired!

ebay = rainbow toned.
@Lazybones You never know I've seen some other head scratching stuff gain a sticker over the years.
Yep ... that was for the slab.

Thanks for the detective work on this!
I'm really shocked that whomever owned it over the 9 years since never paid any attention to the fact that it was turning for the worse and starting to look like it ate bath salts.
Yikes!

@AngryTurtle - thanks, that’s fascinating. Even though it was dark in 2012, it has more color than I might have expected from a dip gone bad. It sure looks like “questionable” color in 2012.

The coin was originally slabbed with the "milk" spots on it. The spots are in the same locations but the "spots" seemed to have multiplied and turned a nice coin into a disaster. It might have been an estate find and placed in a secret storage place for years. The PCGS restoration process might not have been known to the owner. I hope PCGS will try to do something to fix the coins appearance.
