probably rat poison prior to putting in the gsa holder

Storage facilities in Philadelphia had multiple water problems over the years and many coins had to be re-bagged
as the original bags rotted.

So there's no real way of knowing that the coin is water damaged, because that black gunk could have developed long after the coin left Philly...

The damage on the holder - the pattern is that seen on a now-dry rain soaked lampshade for example. As the moisture dries, various trace chemicals are deposited depending on weight/solubility or some such leaving these marks on the plastic. Capillary action and some other dynamics involved perhaps involved, IDK.

Edit to add: that is what the "fog" on the plastic looks like to me anyway.
