TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 822 Posts	Posted 12/20/2019 03:59 am It was difficult to find a good stapler when I started collecting in the late 1960's. Mostly roll hunted and put nicer ones in 2 x 2's (1 cent each then). The crappy staplers never worked right so I sealed a lot of the 2 x 2's with Scotch tape, for a bunch of years. Zoom ahead 40-50 years and this is what may happen. Here are a couple with blue or purple. I have dozens with a variety of colours. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 12/20/2019 1:39 pm 1-cent coins from the WWII era are prone to toning. In fact, some years are darn hard to find in bright red. The early PL 1-cent coins can also get some lovely tones. I have a lovely blue 1954 SF cent I'll have to photograph. https://www.PCGS.com/cert/38157736 "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 12/27/2019 05:01 am I have seen some beautiful rainbow toning over brilliant red uncirculated bronze coins. Sometimes, very attractive toning can be achieved by wrapping the coin in chlorinated bleached white paper, and leaving on a window sill in sunny conditions for a few weeks. Preserve in an airtight capsule, when you have the degree of toning you want. Report this Post to the Staff

Various thicknesses of oxidation will refract light differently causing the different colours. I didn't read through this thread so my apologies if someone else mentioned this already.
