Did this coin get flushed down a toilet and found later at the wastewater reclamation facility???

I guess OGH's are not Timex watch underwater-ready!!!

Well, I guess it's fairly plain why it hasn't been cracked out of the rattler

Maybe it resided in New Orleans when the levies let loose.

agree. 100% humidity was my first thoughts also.
amazing how that print came back to full view.. assuming it was
not visible long ago.

I do see a parcial fingerprint. It appears this coin toned, after being slabbed, due to the oil of human skin. Humidity could have helped it along.

They might only give it a geniune with envirnomental damage now.

That's why its better to buy the coin, and not the slab sometimes...

Is that PVC on the date?

GrumpyEd · January 29, 2009 1:40PM

It even looks like it was staining the lower part of the label.

Lakesammman · January 29, 2009 2:38PM

I would take advantage of the PCGS guarantee on that one.

BlindedByEgo · January 29, 2009 2:39PM

That is just nasty.

RunnersDad · January 29, 2009 2:51PM

PCGS will buy that back from you, yes?

lusterlover · January 29, 2009 10:34PM

<< <i>PCGS will buy that back from you, yes? >>

I don't believe so. That is obviously owner damage. There are disclaimers for this.

Be careful how and where you store your coins!

sparky64 · January 29, 2009 11:34PM

Yuk!

AnkurJ · January 29, 2009 11:50PM

EEP!

If it got wet in a flood, it sure did not affect the paper label.

Not shocking; not unusual.

Go view lots in any auction and you'll find all kinds of coins that have degraded in all kinds of holders, gold coins with putty on them, brown and red brown coins in RD and RB holders, etc.

IchiroDeported · January 30, 2009 12:29AM

should have put a coat of thompsons water seal on it.
