Did you see that green stuff below the date? And it doesn't concern you?

That green is much too dark to have come from PVC. Looks more like verdigris to me.

Assuming it's verdigris, would PCGS normally slab a coin like this?

PVC damage appears as greenish, milky, or grey streaks or haze. In severe cases, it looks like tiny green blobs on the surface of the coin. I am alsmost posotive its PVC damage below the 8. The coin is a proof in an older green pcgs slab and I am concerned about the green spot. I cant sell the coin with a spot like that on the coin so I guess I will drop it off over at PCGS in baltimore next week.

Since slabs aren't airtight, I assume it could have possibly occurred after it was slabbed. The fact that the spot is in a recessed/protected area as opposed to a higher easily contacted area would also suggested that it is not PVC damage. Also, why isn't there more of it?
