I find it odd that these wheat cents are rainbow toned, they've been in a folder for a while I've never done anything to them, always been sitting in a box while in my possession, its only the earlier dates, all of them 1926 and newer are all brown. 1912-S pictured for example.

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 10:44 pm LWC toning, other than a brown color, is caused by improper cleaning, You can see some toning on my F Details Improperly Cleaned 1922 D LWC Buy the way, that's a nice 1912-S! This is mine. Yikes. Edited by ChildOfTheWheat 05/02/2015 10:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff

One might very nearly generalize, though, as is true for almost every issue, that toning on a well-circulated coin is almost guaranteed unnatural. Report this Post to the Staff
