<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Long Beard, post: 25500729, member: 108674&quot;]I concured with the staple theory. Looking at the image when you received it, the&nbsp; stain in those spots became accentuated in the recent image. So, I&#039;m thinking the shop owner had this coin in another flip, stored in a box made for 2x2&#039;s which was pressed against another (of a different demonination? A smaller coin would relocate the staple placement.) with a rusty staple. It was then reholder and sold. These 2x2&#039;s are not air tight, so the darkening only got worse. This is why I only use adhesive style flips or capsules. Lastly, flat your staples![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
