Need more input from you Cascade. What are you really asking? I see a normal coin with a bit of MAD.

This is the Mints latest system of making our coins different. One side one way and the other side different in color.

As Fuzzy suggested, application of heat can cause artificial toning.

I may try it at lunch with a torch and a beat-up Zincoln that's sitting on my desk.

@vvanme... first you may not know this but technically there is NO "penny" in US coins, that is the UK. We have the "cent". Second, there is NO plastic of any kind is in any US coinage that I am aware.
