John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 04:42 am to CCF. The lines are called roller stains http://goccf.com/t/285956#2430054 and I can't really see the blue toning,but being blue I would think it is not natural toning.What does the reverse look like?

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 07:30 am Nickel naturally tones blue,but I have never seen copper tone a natural blue tone unless it was a proof. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
aristarchus123 Pillar of the Community United States 1695 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 07:48 am I have seen a few blue coins in my CRHing days. They have a glossy sheen at times. Report this Post to the Staff

Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 05/02/2017 4:54 pm ! I had some cents tone similar from keeping a little bit of change in the ash tray of my car one summer. Live in FL and it can really get hot in a car parked in the sun all day. I would keep it! Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 05/02/2017 6:02 pm I like the look. It might not be worth more than a cent, but I would keep it.

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 05/03/2017 4:13 pm WOW, that's a GREAT find! I like it! Woodies are pretty common for this issue but finding one toned like that is rare. The woody effect on the more modern cents was caused by impurities rolled into the planchets during their manufacture. Lincoln Cent Lover!
