<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 726814, member: 19532&quot;]I find Lehigh&#039;s post about the &#039;63 Franklin interesting on a number of levels and have a few potentially naive questions for him (and Mark and Doug and others that might know):</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>1. the color changed dramatically in about three years and in a bad way. I have seen similar posts in the past although this one is nice because it has three examples and is practically timelapse photography. Could such a change to black or ugly occur with a NT coin in such a time period? Any time period?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. The coin is in an intercept holder. Would you assume similar results in an NGC or PCGS holder?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. Is it paranoia or is it wise that I check my slabbed coins periodically for color changes (safety deposit box being a pain in the neck to have to go too often, nothwithstanding)? I of course like to just look at them, but I tend to look most closely at some of my toned examples to see if anything looks amiss.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. Any thoughts on the lightning bolt-looking piece emanating from Ben&#039;s head that seems to be the only portion that didn&#039;t undergo changes? Was something attached to the coin at this location during the AT process?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
