  Old green label, I was thinking PCGS not...
  
  The coin is pretty though.

  notice the label says 100% white. so this means it toned while in the holder? i do like the toning.

  Note the slab says "100% White." I wouldn't have thought it would have turned in the holder so uniformly with the paper being only at one side of the coin.
  
  Edited: D'oh! coinman420 just said that. OK, what he said, then.

  I've seen many toner ASE's in PCI slabs, a connection perhaps?
  
  Very nice target toned Eagle.
  
  Maybe I should send all my ASE's to PCI, just a thought.

  IMO a $25 coin. But I have seen many toned ASE just like this one in these holders that are labeled "100% white"
  
  I think the white inserts are doing the toning! plus the right environmental conditions. Very interesting

  The holder, and environment, does tone the coins in the old PCI "100% white" holders...I've got a couple.
  One that is a lesser rainbow version like the one in the auction for this thread.
  
  That said, Cheezhed, you mention milk spots. Help my tired old eyes on this 8 year old monitor....where do you see milkspots in the coin in the auction?

  Hmmm. Upgrade potential?

  I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

  I was about to make this same comment. The old PCI holders caused toning on "white" silver, usually purple or dark orange (almost rust color) like coinsarefun's 1987 ASE, or some combination of the two. I have a Mercury dime in a "95% white" holder which is completely toned in purples and orange, as well as this Washington Quarter with the rust-like toning on the obverse:

  Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

  I could get a bust half dollar in F15 for that. I could fill another hole in my early commem set for that. Some people are nuts. Its not that hard to duplicate that color on bulion silver. Thats just dumb!

  I'm rather fond of this one. This was taken some time ago and has come along even nicer still.

  Definitely the case. I've got a couple of PCI ASE's labeled "white," and they no longer are, even in Integrity Shield boxes.

  Wow, what a shocking waste of money. Almost to the point of offensive really.

  Cheezhed never did come back to show where the milkspots are.
  Kind of a hit and run poster......?

  There are enough of the PCI ones that are labeled "100% white" that have toned like this that I sincerely doubt they were gassed in the holder the MoC way.
