A funny look at an "historical" event AND at how slow things get updated around here ~ OR

Still in the price guide at $4,000 image:

I bet the owner of the 64 in 70DCAM thinks his is worth tenfold of THAT number (even though the price guide has NO price on a coin that actually exists). image

To give credit where credit is due:

PCGS site says:

Significant examples:
PCGS PR-70DCAM. Heritage 1/2003:5815, $39,100.00 - reconsigned to Heritage 1/2004 where it was removed from the sale.
PCGS subsequently puchased the coin under its grading guarantee, lowered the grade to PR-64DCAM, and reimbursed the owner $40,250.00.

    "Improper storage causes $40K coin to become $4 coin", COIN WORLD, November 1, 2004, page 105

    This is the comment I am wondering about. Did PCGS ever publicly state what the "improper storage" was? I would think it would be in everyone's best interest to know the wrong way to store these coins.
