just found this awesome 1961 what do you guys think? Soon as I saw what was on the back I threw it into a cardboard flip
It looks like an improper alloy mix, i.e. more tin/zinc in that area of the planchet. That is not toning. Another possibility is that area of the coin was subjected to extreme heat. Copper has a higher melting point than tin and zinc so when a cent is heated the they have a tendency to migrate to the surface. A good and fun experiment is to take a copper cent and toss in on a hot stove burner (on oven) for a couple of minutes and watch what happens. Take it off the burner and let it cool. The coin will be really neat looking and any surface residue or carbon spots will vanish too. |
