2019 50 Years of the 50p Silver Proof 50p Coins: Obverse Toning

Here at Coin Hunter we have 15 United Kingdom Royal Mint silver proof 50p coin sets created in 2019 to mark 50 Years of the 50p. Every single coin has already toned on the obverse side, see images below.

Toning on recent coins in black foam, where the coins have been stored in the same conditions as older silver proof coins that show no signs of toning.

The question we have to ask is: Does the black foam contain a chemical component that is not coin safe?

We also need to consider why only the obverse is toning so quickly in the black foam. It should be noted that the screw capsule has the screw thread which will let in air on the obverse side - and that the reverse is sealed from the air by the tight fit of the foam itself.
