<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 24787181, member: 24314&quot;]Nope, never.&nbsp; Most PCI coins start toning at the rims.&nbsp; Now it is comical because the lable on many of these that remain in the holder say &quot;100% White.&quot;&nbsp; It was a good idea at the time because most collectors did not like toned coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>After the coins started to tone in the holder years after I had left PCI and went to NGC, we thought the paper and ink was causing the toning because many of the labels were seen with brownish toning on the label edges.&nbsp; The fact that the &quot;newer&quot; PCI coins (after the company was sold) using the same plastic inserts are not found toned made the guess about the paper label seem correct.&nbsp; Now I favor a combination of the insert and the paper.&nbsp; So, who knows?&nbsp; Anyway...</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t tell anything from the image.&nbsp; In my experience, PCI coins that have toned can be conserved.&nbsp; The person doing the work HAD BETTER EXAMINE THE COIN USING A STEREO MICROSCOPE to detect any corrosion before doing anything to it.&nbsp; </p><p>If in doubt, save your money and sell the coin at a MS price.&nbsp; With the passing years of gradeflation, the coin will probably pass as an MS-62! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
