<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 6341983, member: 105098&quot;]take your pick its toning. Mint sets and proof sets then used Pliofilm™ packaging, a Goodyear product,&nbsp; a brand of resinlike rubber hydrochloride that forms a clear, flexible, water-resistant, heat-sealable plastic made of rubber hydrochloride and used chiefly for making raincoats, as packaging material, and as fruit wrapping, patented in 1938.</p><p><br /></p><p>technically the plastic/rubber doesn&#039;t contain &quot;PVC&quot;&nbsp; but it does contain a chloride and it does degrade over time with heat or other factors and cause this blotchy spotty drippy pattern of toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion the coin should have been &quot;conserved&quot; before being encapsulated. a quick dip by a practiced individual and then a neutralization and then submittal for grading and encapsulation. As it stands it doesn&#039;t look as good as it could be, and it has a long way to go to tone up and even then it will follow thatpattern, which is the natural toning of these franklins that were left in the pliofilm.</p><p>A couple quick examples of it from Ebay after coloring up to varying degrees.</p><p>The best case scenario would be they were removed from the packaging before it had an effect on how it toned, next best would be a light skilled dipping and starting over on the toning process outside of the packaging. depends on if you like the pattern enough to let it ride or not.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1251258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1251259[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1251260[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>you can see on the slabbed coin that started the thread, in the picture, around the rim from 9 oclock to 3 oclock, there&#039;s the russet brown, it&#039;s got a long way to go before coloring up and it being out of the pliofilm and in a holder isn&#039;t going to speed it up either. Could be a bad picture and it has some more color to it in the early yellow to brown range and the lights not reflecting right, too bad there&#039;s no picture on NGC to see how they would of taken the picture.... but either way, yeah, it&#039;s going to be blotchy unless you were to crack it out, correct it, and send it in again.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
