I own and have owned many of these. I have NEVER seen a small date with rainbow toning (and that includes the posted coins). However, I have seen NGC get the SD-LD thing wrong quite a few times. NEVER trust a 70S "small date" in an NGC holder.

 Both of these coins are large dates. |

Let me apologize for my vagueness in my earlier post. What I meant to say is that there are a lot of 1970 S rainbow cents. Mostly large dates. A lot of them look alike. I am guessing that its possible and likely these are artificially toned coins and I would not personally risk paying a premium for the toning alone. If you want to see what I mean, go to Teletrade.com and do a search for 1970 S small cents with rainbow toning and see how many show up and how similar they look. I don't believe in coincidence.

The target toning was caused by the Proof Set case itself, that is the reason why they are so prevalent. The Ike GSA cases from the same era also tended to target tone the 40%proofs with light iridescent colors, mainly blue.

Add to that storage conditions because only a small percentage of the sets target toned the cent. That's why all of the TPG's will slab these and it's considered market acceptable toning. |
