Will a Proof Like Morgan lose its Proof Like over time?

I have a PL Morgan in an ANACS slab. Will it lose it's PL over time if I cracked it out? I plan on sending it to NGC at an upcoming show. Can a Morgan lose its PL qualities with exposure to air?

It shouldn't if stored in a reasonable environment.
This isn't something that will fade in time.
However if these coins tone it may be blanket the depth of the PL'ness a bit.

Sure can. If a coin has hazed or toned and you dip it, you're stripping the protective "skin" off the coin and making the surface less stable. If you do it too often over time (hence "over dipping"), you'll start to leave "scars" where the toning was repeatedly dipped off.

...unless you're a gore follower.

If it could, don't you think it would have long before it arrived in that ANACS plastic?
