good point on the proof vs MS coins and haze, it's relevent. I don't believe the haze to be prolific on all modern proofs, but mostly 1970s proof...
which leads us to the red "velveteen" or the boxes, which are different than the GSA boxes.
here's my thinking... the coins tone in a circular pattern from rim to center. Is this because the plastic touches the coins at the rim? or is it...
after hearing this many times, I have to ask what in the package is causing the toning? Is it the "brown box"? Is it the red plush "velveteen"?...
No reason that I can see. the coin looks real
no question, I really didn't think about the context of value then vs. now
