This coin is probably cleaned or treated in one area. See the breakage. See how solvents yield purple hues on coins. Heat drives lower mewlting points metals to the surface in the alloy. Hence the colors. Silver to grey and black and copper, zinc, tin, etc. to other colors. Report this Post to the Staff

If you didn't pay much for it, or picked it out of circulation, then I say it's natural tone. IMO. Report this Post to the Staff

smokeriderdon Pillar of the Community United States 3755 Posts	Posted 12/19/2011 6:31 pm It MIGHT have been heated on purpose. It also may have been left in a trunk in a storage unit in Arizona. You dont know. As Isaid, any statement of fact is NOT a fact. Solely an opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19966 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 09:06 am It doesn't look like a baked coin. However, I believe the coin was laying face down in a thin layer of a liquid that caused the color change. Probably not intentionally toned, more likely it just happened during it's life. Nonetheless, the toning is not generally market acceptable. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
Rewster Valued Member United States 208 Posts	Posted 12/20/2011 2:26 pm I put some ZAP cleaner (It was a Billy Mays cleaner a few years back) on some common LWCs a couple years ago, and they had the same toning. I'll look for 1 when I get home tonight and upload a pic of one. Report this Post to the Staff
