<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 3258355, member: 15309"]I already told you what is the likely cause of the toning. It is the piece of paper inside the flip. When you allow air flow by exposing part of the coin, the sulfur from the paper will cause the toning layer to form. The same result happens if forget to replace and acetate slide in a Dansco ablum. I purchased the Barber Quarter shown below as a blast white coin which I knew had been dipped. I stored it in a Dansco album and accidentally forgot to replace the obverse acetate slide. Six months later, and viola!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/oF63hjT.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse developed a peripheral secondary toning while the reverse which had it's slide intact remained untoned.
