    The colors scream AT and I wonder how it got past the graders. I heard there was a problem of gassed in holder coins back in the 2000's but I never saw one and seeing this one makes me wonder if this is an example of one?

    I'm not sure about gassed in this holder. You usually see that with PCI slabs.

    I personally would not trust it as gassed. Everything the seller has listed is over the hill priced. I pass but thanks for sharing.

    Given that the toning, at least most of it, has reached the terminal stage, I think it very unlikely. And in my opinion, the toning looks completely natural in every way.

    Is this type of toning desired? For me it’d be a no.

    Agree with Doug, probably natural. Added a photo for posterity.

    I wouldn't call it gassed in the holder, but it really doesn't matter in this case. The toning is borderline environmental damage, has very negative eye appeal, and should have a negative impact on the value of the coin.
