What’s a “post feed”?
I’ve never seen a slab that yellowed. And I’ve had some that were 30+ years old. But I have some coins that probably changed inside the holder....
My wife knows better than to try to buy me coins. No one in my family would dare attempt it. Nice 1799 dollar, @Collecting Nut! Any Bust dollar...
I agree with the Ch VF. Nice one. My Otho is a mere Fine (just graded at NGC). In a modest grade, but nicely toned, with Otho’s name fully on...
It so happens that I have an example of that type in an NGC XF slab. [ATTACH] With ancients and medievals, grade is mostly meaningless to me....
Yep. I’m sure the worms play their role, too, over time.
While that is possible, the coins could have settled deeper into the ground on their own without soil being added. Heavier coins in particular...

Wow, that's one of the most unusual flans I've seen! [ATTACH] Cool!
Very nice upgrade!

This thread deserved a resurrection, so here it goes, back up into the sunlight.
This 1909 VDB cent has an unbroken pedigree from the time it entered circulation. It was part of an original roll saved in 1909 by Ohio banker...
Yep. Looks like textile toning, from cloth, or a similarly contoured surface.
At least it's a copper cent, and not a Zincoln... :P
