Here's a 64 Kennedy that I love. I'm not the greatest at taking pictures, the camera has to go out of focus on the coin to capture the toning. It is just in the beggining stages, but in hand it is a brilliant propane flame color. I hope it spreads across the whole coin in time.  |

Can't quite capture the toning on this Lincoln either. In hand, it is a beautiful purple color.  |

jprine, that is a VERY nice type II Franklin you have there. Only about %20 of business strikes from this year are type II and this is a great example.
Hang onto that one for sure! Or send it to me...

Just a guess...if you have guns in the safe.....gun powders have many compounds in them that might be causing it. If you have black powder in there, it has many sulphur compounds that could cause it.
