pinkfl New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 8:45 pm Sorry to spam being a newb but I found a weird penny in a 1999 Proof set that is unopened and isn't cracked. It only affects the penny? Any ideas what happened? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34430 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 9:07 pm @pink, although there is a shadow, it looks like some of the periphery of this cent has toned. I don't think this is uncommon.

Dearborn Moderator United States 97914 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 10:55 pm It is what we would call 'toning' some just say it is the patina forming on the copper surface - both are correct Collecting since 1972.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/01/2021 4:27 pm It could be the set has a crack on that area of the set. Or maybe the coin planchet was affected before the strike toning/staining the areas in question. Not a plus for the coin or the set. More of a distraction and lowers the value of the proof set.
