A Buffalo nickel that's toned nicely in the holder

The coin raw, and the color it's acquired since it came back from PCGS earlier this year. The coloring isn't much on the obverse, but the reverse is taking on some nice pink and gun-blue hues.

...and after.

Wow. How was it stored? How long did you own the coin before submission, Guy?

Merry Christmas to you guys, too.
I've had the coin a couple of years. I submitted it first to NGC, didn't like the grade, so cracked it out and sent to PCGS. They graded it a bit more accurately, I think--meaning higher, of course. Nothing unusual about the storage, just sitting in a PCGS storage box in my office.

Very nice looking coin. But at what point will the toning stop? Thats a lot of tone for a few months. Was it chemically altered prior to submission or your purcahse? Something that may have caused the rapid toning? Food for thought

That's extremely interesting. Please keep us posted as to the progression or lack off. Thanks. jws

Hmmm... I don't like the sound of this Guy. The coin should be stable in the slab. Was it cleaned or dipped in any way prior to submission? If this were my coin, I'd be very concerned since the end result may not be a good one.
