Rainbow toning might add value on an earlier LWC, but probably not on something after 1940 or so (when mintages became gigantic) unless you find a specialist.

I paid for fun and have had some fun. Good deal I think.
I purchased some shotgun rolls from US and received a bunch of fun coins to research. 1937s & 1945 micro s Mercury dimes + 13 × red wheat pennies as well as the usual brown suspects.

to CCF. That coin has great eye appeal so IMHO it adds value.

Beautiful coin. I think this color definitely adds to the appeal. It certainly won't hurt the value.

I personally love the way pennies tone like that! If I had to chose between a plain red one from that year and yours it would be yours in my collection hands down.

I collect toned coins and I feel this would certainly add value. Depending on the grade I would even send this one in.
