Oh the horror to be the owner of this coin currently for sale in a straight grade holder.

Yea, that's a shame.
Ouch!!

Now listen boy, I'm tryin' to teach you sumthin' . . . . that ain't an optical illusion, it only looks like an optical illusion.

Resembles many coppers that I’ve seen in Florida Collections.

Do you have before pictures or any other basis of comparison? I know the corrosion spots are a big boo boo, but how can you know this coin turned in the holder rather than an initial grading hiccup?

bummer
I'm guessing improper storage, or natural disaster?
In any case, ouch!
That’s a huge bummer.
Where is this piece available? Link?
I suppose it would still go nicely in an album collection after a crack and some acetone.

worth conservation at that grade but copper going do what copper going do. PCGS wont warranty that but they might take sympathy and put it back in a 63 holder after treating it.

looks conserved before. looks like this next conservation will leave marks - going to be details next
while before pics were posted, the fact it is in a straight graded holder means it turned after being holdered

Not necessarily. I'll seen some disgusting coins in straight-graded holders, along with dozens and dozens of holdering errors. A claim can't be backed by only assuming human perfection.
It hardly changed, if at all, since 2013!

Send it back to PCGS for conservation to stop the progress of the corrosion and then get it re-slabbed and hope for the best.

Wow... looks like a prior effort at conservation but it's still active. I'd see if PCGS could conserve it. Fingers crossed...

I had an Unc. 1804 Half Cent go bad in holder like this. It took 8 years to turn in holder. This coin turned a long time ago, and has gotten worse over time. It sucks.

I wonder now if this is a reason seasoned collectors of copper prefer the older PCGS green insert slabs.
Definitely!

Appears the same to me. The black spot within the larger dark spot at 3pm is in all photos, only green with added light. I have plenty of green crystallization of silver that is slabbed & stickered, I assume when it is small enough it passes all tests
