brg5658 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 2:11 pm I think it's Machine Doubling. It is certainly there on the coin, but I haven't done any research as to whether there is a known DDO for this date. I'll have to dig a little more. Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12816 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 2:23 pm That's some really cool toning. In the close-up of the reverse, there appears to be a lot of light scratches. Is that on the coin or the plastic? Report this Post to the Staff
brg5658 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 2:27 pm @CelticKnot, if you're seeing what I think you are, those are die polish lines. They are raised, not cut into the surfaces. I'm a sucker for die polish lines -- I think they give coins character. Some other people I know really don't like them. It's just a personal preference I suppose. Report this Post to the Staff

turbozack New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 2:52 pm What causes that blue effect on the coin, it's kind of got a rainbow tone to it. How does this happen to the coin? Report this Post to the Staff
bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 2:59 pm As CelticKnot said, "toning". Not sure why the heavy blue. Some sort of oxidation? Just a guess. Report this Post to the Staff
turbozack New Member United States 38 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 3:05 pm Alright. I really wasn't sure if it was some sort of error when they were being pressed, or perhaps some sort of rare collector's set, I have a penny that has a little but of that rainbow glare going on.

brg5658 Pillar of the Community United States 627 Posts	Posted 04/15/2013 7:05 pm @turboZack: 1958 is one of the years known for mint sets toning coins deeply and brightly. There was something particular in the packaging for that year (and some of the other years around then) that reacted with silver and led to fantastically and wildly toned coins. My 1958-D Franklin half dollar also exhibits some "wow" factor mint-set toning (see below). I don't know all of the chemistry of what causes it, but I do know I like it! Report this Post to the Staff
