Toning on 2001 D Buffalo Dollar

Jcarney

I just took a look at the Unc. Buffalo Dollar in my C&C set over the weekend. I was pretty surprised to see golden rim toning beginning on the obverse. It must be the mint packaging, because none on the coins I have stored in Dansco albums in this storage area are toning at all. Anyone else have this happen?

Nope. Mine are blast white. One has been stored in CA since issue and one was stored in humid MO until just recently. --Jerry

I have a Proof and Unc set that remains untoned

Funny thing is that I have a proof/unc Buffalo 2-coin set stored right next to the C&C set and they've stayed blast white. The only coin that's toned in this environment is this Buffalo. Heck, even the SAE I've had in a Taco Bell napkin for months is blast white!

Got a proof that's white, but when I got it a tried to pull the capsule out of the undersized hole it comes in from the mint to view the reverse, the top of the plastic capsule came right off, exposing the coin to the elements. Figured it probably would tone, but no such luck, yet.
