Coins in Steve Ivy flips

I picked up some coins that were in "Steve Ivy" flips many years ago. The 1929-s coins were all graded "gem BU 65" the two 1912d Lincoln cents 60+ red and brown, the 1909 was graded CH BU 60+. The 1929-s coins look as if they have environmental damage, which the 1912d cents look no problem. Why would some coins in the pvc flips develop issues like this while others not?

Because PVC flips don't all degrade at the same rate. Some might be fine for decades. Others will degrade in a few years

From a couple 1929 Lincoln cents that I have seen, I get the sense that the alloy used that year was slightly different than most other years. @robec can probably add to this.

Did you get all those Steve Ivy flips in one lot?
A shop had the group in their old inventory, I picked them up yesterday. Once cents react like this I assume there is no way to conserve them.
Nice
looks like some cool stuff
