Big Daddy New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 9:16 pm Up for your consideration are 2 quarters. One is a Georgia state and the other is a Virginia. My camera does not do the discoloration justice but both of the quarters have a slight gold-ish tinge to them. I added the third quarter for reference. Also on the Georgia quarter, could someone tell me what is going on around the bottom. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19197 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 9:46 pm Environmental toning plays a role. Too, planchet coloration is not perfectly identical across the minting process. Two-three years ago I noticed that some (not all) freshly minted Philly quarters had a slightly warmer tone than Denver minted quarters of the same year--just enough to notice.

Numiscrat Valued Member United States 221 Posts	Posted 09/09/2021 11:12 pm Agree about the toning. On the Georgia quarter, looks like a collar clash. That's more interesting. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 12:51 am Slightly blackened tone coins would be the result of mild heat stress. Heat them to red heat, and they will turn to nearly jet black. Just be very aware of ebay offerings that allege 'improper annealing' or similar. Report this Post to the Staff

Big Daddy New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 09/10/2021 09:37 am Yall mentioned "collar" clash and I'm guessing that's an error. What makes some errors worth more, less, or have any value at all. Report this Post to the Staff
