  Well that's different...
  
  And if it weren't in that holder, I'm certain it'd get BB'd.

  That is soooo strange. Can you describe what is going on? Like gold toning and corrosion?

  No corrosion, even under 10X, but it is whacked! Never saw anything like it, and I have and have had many of these babies.

  .......or, the canvas bag discovered a wee bit of water (liquid). At least that 84-CC has an infinitely nicer cheek than most 83-84 CCs.

  I would guess it was on the underside of a bag laying on the cement floor of the vault that got a bit damp. Could have been a new vault with moisture still in the cement.

  Wasn't that the same coyote urine that caused the bag toning??

  Does the holder say "Uncirculated Silver Dollar," or just "Silver Dollar"? To me, this would be the best indicator of where the coin was when toned, if by water damage or any other reason. They put heavily toned and heavily bag marked coins in GSA holders marked only as "Silver Dollar" most times, along with a different incert than the other. So just a guess, but if the Uncirculated is left off of that GSA holder, then the toning probably did occur inside of a canvas bag in a vault before the hoard was found. Cool coin either way and I agree with an above poster about how clean her cheek is from most other '84's I have seen.

  Yep, it is the holder they put all the toned ones in. only "Silver Dollar". That would indicate it was found this way.
  
  It does not look like damage. It is actually kinda cool. This sucker would have a shot at 66 at NGC.

  Some GSA's have amazingly unique toning like this one. Very cool.

  Back in the day, when everyone was cracking these like there was no tomorrow, so many clean cheek toners were cracked and dipped.

  Sad but true....... I remember going to shows in the 70's and seeing 55 gallon drum trash containers filled with GSA plastic, boxes, and cards. Got enough cards and boxes for what I needed, and left the rest. (who knew?) Every so often, you can see a fresh specimen that hasn't been offered for a while, if ever. You can tell by the pristine scratch-free plastic. Such pieces are very rare if they are equisitely toned.
