Statehood Quarters...Toning Observed!

ChuckC

Half a year ago, I bought a Gem Set on ebay for twice face, all where white, and most were very frosty. When I received my quarters, I immediately placed them in flips (not the carboard kind), stacked them, and and left them in my coin box. Today, I bought an album for these guys, and to my surprise, some had toned. My Alabama P turned a subtle blue in the fields, My Georgia D looks like it caught the measles, and a few hazed over as if getting ready to change.

Could this be the prelude to another toned coin phenomenon similar to Moragn toners? Sure. Is this my ticket to the high life? Probably.

I've got a 1999 State Quarters Proof Set that has developed an orange-brown toning around the edges of the coins on both sides. So it's probably pretty common.

Hey Chuck

How do you like this?
The center of the schoolhouse is turning colors. The person I bought this from had to have slabbed it just after he received it from the mint.



I won it on ebay on Aug 8. Hard to figure it out at times.

You may have a nice case of PVC. What kind of flips?

None of those pics look like nice toning but look like PVC or haze, neither of which attract most collectors or bring more money.

I never said this was nice toning. I suspected PVC...I got the flips from my dealer years ago, so that's a fair presumption. I wish I put them in an album the day I gotem, but oh well, they're in there now.

BTW, what differentiates PVC from non-PVC? The flips I used were very rigid if that helps. ( I have other flips that are "soft" feeling/ easily bendable)

i had some shqs in those soft flips and
after a year or two the coins developed
a good amount of haze (pvc?)
since then i,ll never use soft flips again.

Hi,
I wonder what else is in the box, what the box itself is made of and where it it is stored.

Here's a thought. The silver proof version of these quarters have a problem with hazing, even in slabbed holders. And look at the silver eagles with their ugly milk spots. Many attribute the milk spots to improper washing at the mint. I personally won't buy any more slabbed eagles because of this. I have stored these in pcgs blue boxes and intercept shield holders. Doesn't seem to matter, 1 day I go to look at em and they have turned ugly . I also know that if you put your quarters into a map, set the map on the wall, they get really ugly!! I live in CA and there is a lot of crap in the air from so many cars spewing chemicals by the ton.

PVC damage? Possibly. Mint production problem? Another possiblility. Now I take my coins and put them in intercept shield boxes, then I vacuum seal them. Of course I seem to be buying a lot of seal a meal bags!!

I have a set of Gem BU state quarters in a Dansco alboum that have developed a very nice golden hue color. I would be upset if they didnt look so good. The 99's are the darkest gold the 03's being the lightest and the 04's are still bright white.
