Carl - The first two I pulled out of my pocket at the end of the day, lucky circulation finds. The 1956 I found at a local coin shop....it kind of stood out amongst the others in the box. LOL

I've fiddled around in the lab with AT before, but with ZERO luck. All I managed to do is turn cents black or just plain ugly. LOL

I wish I wasn't color blind. I'd probably enjoy this thread a lot more.

Don't worry about it. We are all just kidding you know. Color computer monitors haven't been invented yet.
And if they do invent them, Thad probably only had blue paint at home.

I've found alot of those as well recently - probably 25 or so. I didn't think they were uncommon.
i wonder what conditions cause it naturally?...i guess its black oxide.
