I am one of those people that call it bad plating. I've found 95s like this in obw rolls. Haven't hear a reason to believe it isn't. |

This it is far to be a toning coin. Look cool, but it is not toning. No natural toning affect at this small scale the upper and deep of the coin. If you overlays it is same on both side.

Is maybe someone stripping off the copper plating from the center of the faces of these cents to create this dramatic color variation? Like @sil, this doesn't look like toning to me. Rather, that looks like exposed zinc to me.

I think silviosi has this correct, "No natural toning." Could be heat damage as suggested, but nothing natural.  to the CCF!  |

I think this is a plating issue as others have said.
IMHO, Mint luster (shiny areas) seems to be present on the plated and unplated area. If the plating was removed the luster wouldn't be visible.

If the plating is removed, which it is very hard and employ high technology, will be not congruent with the other side.

These are the 95s along with 25 or more that came out of string rolls.  Mine are not as smooth as Kpierce's are, but the same problem. I think it has something to do with when they were electroplated, maybe there was something on the planchet that wouldn't let the copper adhere |

In the process's of plating the zinc it is not use the C101 Oxygen Free Copper which it is compact. The plating in the fabrication of the coins will result in an porous cooper layout. The zinc core, oxide very fast given an white-grey oxide which I see on the Cujon coins and has a normal Cu surface color. The OP coin color it is more versus a toning color and could be obtain relative easy on this color form.

Wow, look a the uniformity of shape on the reverse of Cujohn's coins. That has to be an indicator as to how these form.

Yes this phenomena usually is bigger on the Observe due to the action of the Hammer. When is strike down, the Oxygen contain in the alloy will has the tendency to rise up, forming more oxygen molecular concentration on this part, so the oxidation will occur faster on this side of the coin. Like I mention before the alloy and the Cu coating are porous materials.
Been in the rolls, the coins touch each other on reverse sides. So the observe will has more oxidation and will transfer to the Reverse, and start the processes of oxidation.
Nothing could be done to stop or inhibit. Some tests claim that in complete vacuum or varnishing can stop.
