Is there PVC on this CAC coin?

What's going on at star 10, within the first 9 of the date, and on the neck?

    You could email Heritage and ask.

    YUP, but at least there is no ear wax!

    PS: Why don't people take care of the slabs? Shopped around and sold so many times that they
    get all beat to heck. I would not buy such a coin. Slab gets that bad then reholder it. My pet
    rant for the day.

    It looks concerning, especially around the star.

    The green grunge in the "9" could just be some grunge, and the spot on the neck could even be a chip on the slab--it's hard to say. Perhaps a dealer can add some value and check it out for you. image

    I wouldn't bid on this pig. I'm just surprised to see a CAC sticker on it.

    My guess is slabs receive the most abuse at large auction houses.

    If the winning bidder is posting here, I'll pay $450 for it sight unseen.

    That green dot must be active PVC. Normally, CAC even catches PVC when it is simply a film over the coin, something I don't even see.

    I'm sure would buy that back if the winner let them know, their reputation is on the line!

    In this case one could mistake the bean for the pvc image I did.
    As far as rants and slab condition, I could never understand why the idea of keeping slabs in archival sleeves made for the smaller sized postcards never caught on. They are perfect for both TPG's and really extend the life of the slab. Just take it out to examine and admire your coin; most slab scruffiness is caused when not holding the slab in your hands.

    The PVC or verdigris looks to be quite stable and not yet a threat to that coin. I have a few nice coins in which the PVC is also stable and not a threat since it has not spread out like an ice skating rink.

    Reason? The PVC had a chance to dry out and act more like verdigris than PVC itself and is stored properly.

    Wow,
    Thinking Heritage should have caught it, and I'm sure it was there (or something) when CAC looked at it.
    Mistakes happen, but this one is pretty obvious.
    Hope somebody out there reading this forum has some "pull" to fix it.
