    Thanks for the warm welcomes(s?), lol. I hope to be of some value, although it may just be that of the oddball curiosity. Enjoy your weekends(s?)!

    From what I know the gold label holders are not known for the toning the coins the way the early green holders are.   However, as with most slabbed coins, if you do not store them properly any number of outcomes are possible.   While many blame the labels as having a high sulfur content (or whatever the excuse) the real culprit is improper storage, high humidity and heat are the real cause of much of the toning from these early holders.    I am not doubting that the label is a contributing factor but you need something like heat and humidity to activate whatever is in the label.
    I know that the environment has more to do with toning than anything else because I have many of these types of early holders, PCI, ANACS and others.   Those coins that I have owned for ten or twenty years have not changed much if at all in almost every case.   I live in a dry arid climate and store my coins in a SDB in Intercept shield boxes with desiccant packs in the box, even the raw loose silver eagles have gained just a tiny bit of rim tone in all those years.   Yet I have seen many people over the years on forums who have shown a newp and then just a couple of years later they then show that same coin off with tons of tarnish on it.   They are not storing their coins properly, either by design or something else.
