    << <i>It says "questionable toning" right in the listing.

    << <i>This looks like one that florida toner chick had listed a while back. There has been speculation that she's gassing coins already in holders.

    makes sense, russ. we all know that the slabs are not 'bullet proof' image

    I suggested this before- PCGS should look into labels that react with the same chemicals used to gas coins (and I'm not saying that's the case with this one) and change color. That would end this problem...

    << <i>I concur with ahooka454--it may well have been AT'ed in the holder. I presume those holders are probably easier to AT a coin because the plastic inner core has several large cut out areas, which should make it easier for a gas (or perhaps a liquid but I'd bet a gas) to get to the coin itself.

    I also concur that Pat, the seller, had nothing to do with toning that coin. >>




    I think PCGS really should take a good look at the holders guys, Milk spots or the ASE's and now toning in this holder, why would Pcgs slabbed this if it is Real? Just my thought.
  • I could make a whole box of them for that price.
