Bobby (bsshog40) and I, and probably others have reported this several times over the years, and sent questions to "ASK NGC", and nothing has ever been done about it, and no one from NGC has ever responded.
As others have mentioned, I have to log out to see who has responded to any post.
Interestingly, I can see who responds over on the comics forum, even when I am logged in.

Welcome to the forum.
My guess would be that whatever is causing the toning happened before the coin was encapsulated. If NGC's grading process or machines were causing it, I believe the problem would be more widespread.

Here is a wooden dollar the pillar of your community would never have reason to see much less use.  It is the equivalent of a "food stamp" which can be "purchased" at a booth with the use of an E.B.T. (Electronic Benefit Card" issued by the state and accepted at any of the dozen or so open-air "Farmer's Markets" participating in the green-market program in the five boroughs of New York.  My guess is it is favored in lieu of cash (dangerous to safeguard on the street) and by proprietors who seek to avoid the use of credit/debit card machines and the processing fees exacted in using them.  The three features I should like to point out about these "wooden dollars" are a). If your purchase amounts to $4.75, you will forfeit the quarter due: each dollar clearly states, "No Change Given," b). Five-dollar wooden coins are available as well, and c).  The dimension of the coins, irrespective of denomination, closely approximates if it does does not equal the exact diameter and depth (thickness) of the so-called Ike dollar. SNAP Is a federal program administered by the various states; I would assume a similar arrangement is available in other states.

I wouldn't call Cooperstown,NY, Canton,OH or Springfield, MA major cities, and I think those Hall of Fame museums compare more closely to a specialized museum like the ANA's than a large museum like the Smithsonian. That being said, I don't really care where the museum is located. If I want to see it badly enough, I will make the trip. Other's - especially non-collectors - would obviously feel different.
And, on the subject of the city of Colorado Springs: I have been there on three separate occasions. Aside from one motel that I would not recommend to house a dog, I liked the place, and would not consider it a "prairie dog" or "backwater" town. Just my opinion, of course.

Orvisburg is an obsolete lumber town that was established in 1888. The last of the mills closed in 1927, and the town died out.
 
This view at Orvisburg looks east from the Champion lumber mill, and shows part of the town near the railroad depot. Not a single building is left today at this location.
 
The only denomination listed in either Chatham's Mississippi book, or Terry Trantow's lumber company token book is the 10 cent. Not long ago, Steve Hayden (Civilwartokens.com) listed these other denominations, and I managed to land all but the 50 cent example. 
 
 
 

FS numbers are numbers assigned by Bill Fivaz and J.T. Stanton in the "Cherrypickers' Guide to Rare Die Varieties," and denote doubled die varieties, repunched mintmarks, etc.
Welcome to the forum.

Let me re-phrase my answer: You accused NGC of damaging your coin. Quote:"How many more coins will begin doing this before they find the cause in their grading or sealing machines?????" I believe the substance that caused the coin to tarnish was present on the coin when it arrived at the NGC building. Based on the fact that they have been encapsulating them for 20 years, and yours is the only coin with that look that has been posted on this forum, I think it is an isolated incident.

Some kid saw one of those ads with the scissors that can cut through a Lincoln cent and decided to try it himself. So, he got some scissors out of the sewing box, and gave it a go.
Then, he got his butt whipped for ruining Mom's best scissors.  Then he was told, "It's okay. It was Mommy's fault for leaving the scissors where you could find them."
 
Welcome to the forum, Carleigh.

From the Charter, Article 13, Section 4:
"Elected Officials, Officers, Special Officers and key employees are prohibited from taking any action or doing any act that could jeopardize the Association's 501(c)(3) nonprofit status."
So, yes, apparently it is set up that way.

Havn't seen any moderns so here goes. If you were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time at the old stadium in Indy, these were handed out on the way in. This superb deep cameo prooflike token has been well preserved since around 2005.

It appears we may actually agree on this point.
I personally see nothing wrong or odd with this scenario. The nicer coin should bring the nicer price, and the grade should not be adjusted to "fit" the price. I don't think the collector market requires TPGs to manipulate the grade to match the value. I think most educated collectors can figure it out for themselves. The dealer market may require it, (and from the posts that I have read on this forum, apparently they do) but that, in my opinion, is to the detriment of the hobby.
 

Nope.
This appears to be one of a "chain" of coins that were soldered together, possibly to make a piece of jewelry. It was broken apart from the "chain."
It could have been something similar to the one below, although it appears to have been soldered edge-to-edge, instead of overlapping.

Actually, that is considered a variety, rather than an error.
And, since we are on the subject, Doubled Dies are also considered varieties.

The quality of internet photos is also highly variable. That can make it difficult to compare coins of the same grade.

I seriously wonder if you sometimes cringe before you post articles, knowing that you are almost certainly going to get a few sarcastic remarks - whatever the subject matter.

Well, you only have 517 posts. What can you expect?

Although you spoke to me, that quote was by brg5658.

China, most likely.

Granted, there isn’t much of a price/value spread between MS62-63 Saints, or for that matter, other contiguous grades of different generic gold coins. But that shouldn’t render the idea of accurate grading for such coins, any less important. The potential attached value to any particular grade coin shouldn’t be an excuse for sloppy, thigh or lose grading.
