2foxy Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 3:59 pm I found this 1974 P Lincoln cent with a unique rainbow toning covering Lincolns bust, It looks like it might have been caused by some type of liquid exposure. Has anyone seen one like this before? The colors on it are quite beautiful, would it have any premium value? Thanks in advance :) Edited by 2foxy 04/01/2023 3:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

keith12 Pillar of the Community United States 4789 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 4:10 pm Looks like artificial toning to me. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 50134 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 4:12 pm Looks like some kind of chemical reaction almost intentional. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 78253 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 4:17 pm Must agree, doesn't look natural. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 11993 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 4:20 pm Yes, I've seen similar--many, actually. I search through mountains of cent rolls and come across all kinds of toners. Environmental exposure is the culprit. Looks interesting. I have a Dansco album full of toned Lincoln cents. I try to keep the obvious, deliberately toned examples out, but I suspect I have a few in the album. I'd keep what you have, but that's only me.

Tacc Valued Member United States 279 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 4:23 pm My 2 cents worth. I've tried acetone dip on a coin of that era (one I didnt care about). Acetone did remove some gunk, but I proceeded to rinse the coin in tap water, and I got that same type of rain-bowing that was previously not there. Tap water Not Good. Report this Post to the Staff
-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 3597 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 5:18 pm Regardless of the cause, in my opinion, it's purdy! I'm partial to toned coins though. -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff

Since artificial toning is often heat related, acetone is not likely to remove it. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 20941 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 6:11 pm I agree: that it doesn't look natural. But I like it anyway, due the the cameo effect on the portrait only. Unfortunately, be the toning natural or artificial, it is unstable in this color state. The only way to keep it this way would be to keep it in a very secure airtight environment, starting from now.

Spence Moderator United States 27169 Posts	Posted 04/01/2023 6:11 pm @2fo, as you likely know, there are folks who pay a premium for toned coins, and a subset of those seem not to care too much about AT vs. natural toning. So save this cent if you find it pleasing—the cost of ownership is low.
