I guess coins naturally rainbow tone in minutes now.
I can't help but think the coin turned after being holdered (coated with something prior to submission?). If not, there is some idiocy going on at a certain TPG.

Hi Wes,
Hard to say from the scan.
I would wonder how a coin so new could get toned so fast?
Thanks,
David

These haven't been processed or something.
Cool color!

Wish you hadn't have said that! Next someone will write that "It's Bush's fault!"
or maybe GWT Global Warming Toning.

You may be right since the coin is located in Florida.

Yeah; the clever little fart!!
That blue kennedy is even more hideous. If I was pcgs, I would be a little concerned that gross looking AT coins are sitting in their plastic. Looks very bad.

Yep envelope toning.
Probably sat in an old time collection for couple weeks or so.
I too learned that right here on the CU boards.
Envelope toning....yep......

Nah. I think it is album toning. sat in one of them blasted DANSCO's for a week or two.

I actually think that this could be a very good idea.

And now that it's in the public domain he can't cash in on it. On behalf of mankind, thank you Christian. These thanks + $10 = cup 'o joe at Starbucks. You never know, it may be possible, hydrogen sulfide sensitive paper? If that was the gas used. Are these coins silver? Of course, the coin's appearance is a pretty good clue, but maybe HRH, being interested in this thread, might start thinking about it.

<< <i>Recently I think Russ received a pcgs coin where the holder just came apart cleanly, what if the assumptions are wrong,t hat these coins are not gassed in the holder but somehow someone has figured a way of opening them and that is why we don't see too many because it is a tough chore to open them cleanly and the Doctor must go though many a holder to get a couple of clean breaks. Sealing them closed unfortunately shouldn't be that tough to do and difficult for the novice to detect although I have no idea how all this is accomplished. And if they are gassed through the plastic is the fact that the gas affects only metal and not plastic that makes it undectable to see damage to the plastic? You know I don't even think an expert should answer my questions so as not to foster these things but I just thought I should mention . >>
It was Marty, not Russ.
I'd go with the gas story as well, from the looks of the coin.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

Bush can't be blamed for anything anymore, he's become way too irrelevant. He's the crazy the uncle that shows up at Thanksgiving and every one ignores except the other idiot relatives.

Not necessary since slabs are not air tight. Also, a drilled hole would be detectable.

Uh, PCGS put it in there!!
Now, how did it get toned? Uh, smoe enterprising dude [taking advantage of the non-airtight property of the PCGS slab] prolly put a bunch o them into a vacuum chamber an sukked all the air out mit a vacuum pump. He then refilled the vacuum chamber mit his mixture of toning gases an let it set around fer a spell. He then hookt up his trusty ol vacum pump and sukked all the gases out o the chamber wunce again. He probly did that a couple times to make sure that all the toning gases were removed frum the slab.
I can't help but think you must have some German blood running through your veins.
My latest widgit , so my rely is now coin related, right??? ..
