<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LostDutchman, post: 663128, member: 16994&quot;]This is (was) a really nice coin. This came into the store today covered in PVC. I took it off with some acetone. It looks like the coin sat with the obverse down against the PVC leaching holder. The coin has a light spot of very nice luster in the center of the obverse and all the other slightly yellow area is pitted. The reverse looks like it wasn&#039;t touching nearly as much therefore it just had a light coating which was removed with the acetone. This is most likely from PVC or some other sort of environmental damage. This is exactly why you must make sure that the things touching your coins during storage are inert. This coin was a nice Mint State coin that was essentially ruined by improper storage. It&#039;s a darn shame. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i25.tinypic.com/2wpi5uh.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><img src="http://i25.tinypic.com/sqrv9j.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
