Thank you, Coop. That was a pleasure to watch.

I have a dozen uncirculated rolls of 1968-S cents that I picked up at the bank. Some "old timer" had just turned them in. They're in exceptional condition--except they are all bright yellow-gold like your coin pics above. They're gorgeous.

Based on what you said, I think maybe he had them stored in a hot garage for a few decades...

Thanks again, Coop.
Rest in Peace

"serious question, why would anyone bother toning a coin so ambiguously that has so much circulation (steps etc)?"

They could be practice coins to refine their method before trying to tone nicer coins.

The heat will affect them. I bought some rolls like yours that was stored in the heat. The side facing outside was affected, the opposite side was not. There were red/purple in color.

I have that, too, Coop. From the same "stash," I have half dozen UNC 1965 rolls: one side is bright, tangerine orange--the other are beautiful reds. They're pretty but... ")
