Frankybanky Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 11:27 pm I purchased these 3 rainbow toned uncirculated steel pennies and this one has what appears to be doubling on motto and liberty. As well as interesting mint mark. I hope I did better with these photos. Thanks coin community. Report this Post to the Staff

luvmyCAM Pillar of the Community United States 1479 Posts	Posted 08/19/2018 11:43 pm Looks like the toning could be PVC contamination from old plastic coin flips from the 1970's. The top mintmark is post mint damage and the others are normal buisseness strikes from what I can see. Sorry but I can't pick up any doubling. Keep searching their out there.

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 12:31 am I don't see any doubling, but I do see Die Deterioration (caused by a worn die) though. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Frankybanky Valued Member United States 54 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 12:50 am Thanks guys..all three of the coins have a real pretty purple and red color if you touch the coin with anything like a powdery substance comes off. And the color comes with it. So is that Pcv damage? If so should I give the coin a quick dip in acetone or leave em alone and throw the into scrap bin or? Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75042 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 12:58 am You're very welcome and no problem! Looks like you have PVC damage going on. I would give it a soak in 100% Acetone for 1 hour, to see if it helps. I would take it out of the 2x2 coin flip, because it will get worse as time goes by, since the one it's in contains PVC in the plastic itself. I would suggest getting these instead. https://www.ebay.com/itm/100-2-x-2-....m2749.l2649 Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 08/20/2018 01:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 08/20/2018 01:00 am If a substance is coming off, then that "toning" is nothing more than damage. I suspect these were an attempt to varnish them to keep from rusting. Do soak in acetone, overnite. The coin should NOT be shiny in Amy way, a dull or matte finish gray only! If they don't clean up, get rid of them, they may infect other coins! BTW, #1 is half-essed... Report this Post to the Staff
