Dearborn Moderator United States 98847 Posts	Posted 07/23/2021 10:17 pm toning of a coin is not an error, but I would like to see, like Coinfrog has stated full coin images up-right. I tried turning my phone over to view the coin properly, but auto rotate mucks up my attempt. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Spence Moderator United States 34450 Posts	Posted 07/24/2021 07:14 am The odd discoloration (patches of shiny light gold interspersed between heavy brown toning) point to some sort of environmental or chemical exposure I think.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19267 Posts	Posted 07/24/2021 07:46 am Agree, toning caused by exposure to an environmental agent--as blotchy as it may be. Not terribly uncommon. Of the hoard of pre-1950s wheat cents I have squirreled away, I'd say 5% of them have similar toning. Me being me, I'd hang onto it. Report this Post to the Staff
kenwright396 Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 07/24/2021 08:27 am Don't think it's an error, but the toning looks very nice. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 07/24/2021 08:39 am To me it's just a hole filler . Looks like the obverse was cleaned then artificaly toned . The coin is pretty beat , does not look like an error . Worth about 3¢ . Report this Post to the Staff
