Nice color on that Victoria cent! I think the planchets were darkened before striking.

Nice "woodie"! This thread is mostly to post toned copper coins, which tone distinctly different from bronze coins like later UK pennies--but nice coin all the same!

I have a few beautifully toned Finnish copper coins as well. I think there's something to what you're saying.
