I have several that have started to tone over the years. Dolley has the most coverage. How are yours holding up?
Bought from mint and sent to PCGS as soon as I got it. It's a 69.

    Some of the small blotches sure look like it wasn't rinsed properly. Not that it isn't a good looking coin. Peace Roy

    I call that Fanta orange staining.

    There has to be a mint rinse that is leaving it.

    Fanta orange stains can be removed by our hosts for a fee.

    I think I bought the first two years of these and then quit. Haven't looked at them since. Lol They are all packed in storage now. Hope to see them soon. Lol

    I thought .9999 gold is so nonreactive, it won't tone at all...

    I won’t comment any further than to say “surface contamination”

    It does look like a rinse residue...perhaps from the planchet cleaning pre-strike. Cheers, RickO

    That .0001 will get you once in a while, red spots show up sometimes, Canada refines to .99999 and has no "toning or residue" issues on the ones I have.

    Quite a few spouses and modern commemorative gold products from the Mint that I have purchased over the years developed that toning effect over time that the OP photo shows. A few actually toned in a good way.

    Sorry but that tarnish really affects the beauty of the coin.
    I would contact our host to see if they can "restore" it.
