Have had this penny for quite some time now. Thoughts on it? I really like the purple. The pictures don't do it justice. Think it came from a mint set.

Looks like it is starting to become nicely toned.

It's starting to tone, but it's toning very nicely! Beautiful coin!

Looks like it's in a mylar flip? Are the striations visible on the coin itself or a product of the mylar?

From these pics, that purple is pretty cool.

The striations are on the coin itself. Only on the front

Since the striations are on the front, it's toning on the surfaces.

I meant to say that your coins surfaces are toning, not the discoloration of the holder. Sorry about that. I hope I cleared up the confusion I might have caused.

Gotcha. Yeah it's definitely on the coin. Love the purple like that. Never seen one like that before.

I have one with blue toning which came directly from a mint cello.
Rest in Peace
