Question From New Member

Hello. I'm a long time collector. I primarily collect Morgans in a date set and type coins in a basic type set. I also use the grading services and I've noticed a disturbing situation. Some of the coins that I had slabbed by ANACS are oxidizing in their holders and turning various shades of ugly. Most are dark colors, even black. Is this the result of ANACS having an inferior holder or could it be the condition of the coins prior to slabbing? My coins in PCGS and NGC holders don't have these problems and they were stored in the same manner. I'm enjoying the message boards so far. Thanks.

    image can you post some images? Might be easier to answer that way.

    I would think it would be the coins before slabing, But I could be wrong,

    Slabs are made of inert material that will not contribute to your problem. However, slabs are not airtight and the environment of your storage could be the culprit. But since it is not effecting coins in your other slabs I suspect that someone messed with the coins prior to the slabbing and they are turning now. Fact is the slab will retard the coin turning so it can sometimes take awhile for this to occur. I wonder if you bought these Anacs slabs at the same time from the same place. If so, this is by far the most probable cause.

    Welcome.
    I would guess the coins turned because of the condition of the coins prior to slabbing.
    They may have been dipped and the surfaces left unstable. It may take time for this to show.

    Pics would help. Here is a 1928 Peace $ that has turned in the slab. Resides in a PCGS MS62 holder. Obviously dipped and not rinsed properly. Was blast white at one time. As much as I disdain dipping I suppose I should send this to one of our dippers on the boards and bring some dignity back to liberty. Maybe I'll keep her just to remind us all of the evils of dipping.image

    There may be a severe problem with your storage conditions and these are merely the first to react.

    I bought some coins a few years ago and I still have them. They were bright white when I bought them and have since retoned. I think they were dipped before being certified and not rinsed properly. I don't like the retoning because it looks like A.T. to me. I don't think it would be the holder, I've had some ANACS holders for years with no retoning.image

    Hmmh! Some may construe this as toning. Yo AYEEEEEEEE...Welcome to the forum.image
