The silver eagle attached below is the second PCI green label toned silver eagle I have purchased. Both coins have the EXACT same spectrem of colors of rim toning. One of the holders is even designated "100 White". I know these green label PCI holders do tone coins and beautifully so.

The older "no line"(under the label) NGC holders also tone coins. Is this going to be the latest type of natural toning?

Bag toned,endroll toned, album toned, envelope toned, and now Slab toned?

Frank.... Yes, I found other one it has the same exact unusual toning color pattern.

DOH! I knew I was forgetting one.

That toning comes from the slab, not an album.

I have seen many of these.

With their very high silver content, these darn things will tone in a stiff breeze.

Absolutely. Well said. People that pay any form of premium for these coins, as the numbers grow exponentially, will watch the premium disappear completely in the next few years.

Well, damn. There goes that $5 down the drain.

Yep, the premiums for these types will go down. But truly spectacular toning that isn't blah like this one will still have some premium. And $5 is a great price!

This one cost me $6 back in 1989 when I got it. Toned over 10 years or so in an envelope that I had stuffed somewhere way back when. Not intentionally, either. Pure random luck. But this is a beauty that I think will always have a measure of premium over melt.

Obverse

I actually paid ten bucks for my SAE. $5 was just the premium. I figure I can always melt it and get half my expenses back.

I bought it for a few reasons...none having to do with the appeal of the toning (even though it is the golden type of toning I like quite a bit). Mostly I wanted a toned coin in a slab that said "100% White" . I found it an interesting (and amusing) conversation piece.

BTW: Nice Onza. ;-)
