The Zincolns(post 82 Lincolns) tend to get ugly when they tone and the ones that have attractive colors are highly desired. The older bronze Lincolns tended to tone a bit better but copper is so reactive that any toning can be a crapshoot- may look nice one day and then a few years later, you have a handful of ugly Edited by biokemist6 10/22/2008 08:36 am Report this Post to the Staff
