<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 838527, member: 19065&quot;]Ben, do you mean you have noticed that the blue and purple original Mint presentation boxes have this tendency for coins to produce cloudiness (this particular type of tone) more often, if not exclusively, compared to coins originally put into the black, green, brown boxes? That would be a pretty interesting thing to figure out if it could be determined as a cause of inks/papers reacting under certain environmental conditions. I agree too that if the OP doesn&#039;t like it, get rid of it or get another in the condition they do prefer.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Another thought/question: The Mint does apply some sort of <i>treatment </i>to the blanks to deter tone on modern proof coins, correct? (Is this a wash done at that stage of minting?) If so, is there any concern over whether modern production methods employed to&nbsp; deter tone is causing this to happen some percentage of&nbsp; the time?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
