Looks like Martha developed a rash........

Any clue to why this happened? This coin is graded as PCGS PR70DCAM. It's in an intercept shield "double protection" box. I don't remember seeing this, I just happend to pull it out to take a look at some shiny gold image

    Improperly rinsed planchet? Just a guess.

    Regards, John
    Need the following OBW rolls to complete my 46-64 Roosevelt roll set:
    1947-P & D; 1948-D; 1949-P & S; 1950-D & S; and 1952-S.
    Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!

    Fairly normal in PCGS plastic. I've seen this over and over with PCGS graded Modern Gold coins (particularly have seen it on commems, but have also seen it on the Spouses)... the PCGS plastic seems to make these coins susceptible to developing orange toning on the coin. I've seen some Modern commems that were completely orange.

    Doesn't really appeal to me that much. Would rather have it the way it was.

    All the more reason to keep the coins in the original mint plastic. I've had silver coins tone in the mint capsules, which is to be expected. Silver is a more reacitve metal that is more prone to toning. Gold, however, should be quite stable.

    The only gold coins I've seen go bad in the mint holders were pieces that were stored in some stupid place, like a very hot attic or a garage.

    Sure, it's Shingles. Older folks, like me, seem to get them in our twilight years!

    Poor Martha, misses George I'm sure.
