"Big Red" Washington still in Mint Cello

ClausUrch

This Proof 1964 Washington had a yellowish tint about 3 months ago when I last looked at it. Imagine my surprise when I opened the envelope today! Stored in the original manilla Treasury Dept. envelope in nightstand drawer. I'm thinking crack in the mint cellophane coupled with the pinkish-red mint disclaimer sheet...

Just a little crack can wreak havoc; had this happen to a blazer BU '60s silver Washington - a pinpoint, danged near invisible pinhole in the mylar window of a 2X2 created a pinpoint, ugly brown spot. A shame since, though not at all rare, it had relatively nice surfaces.
