hfjacinto Pillar of the Community United States 7276 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 07:18 am If you are talking about the Edge toning, that looks really nice. It happens on a lot of coins.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 08:35 am . It reminds me of a copper plated cent that has been heated with a cigarette lighter,but there are some collectors who believe it is a plating error. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 08:43 am @chase, look at what appears to be an autocorrect error in @dear's response. Either way, the toning is pretty cool on this cent, but I don't think it adds to the numismatic value. Welcome to CCF @kpi!

Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 7174 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 8:27 pm I am one of those people that call it bad plating. I've found 95s like this in obw rolls. Haven't hear a reason to believe it isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 8:45 pm This it is far to be a toning coin. Look cool, but it is not toning. No natural toning affect at this small scale the upper and deep of the coin. If you overlays it is same on both side. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 34423 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 8:49 pm Is maybe someone stripping off the copper plating from the center of the faces of these cents to create this dramatic color variation? Like @sil, this doesn't look like toning to me. Rather, that looks like exposed zinc to me.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/27/2022 10:13 pm I think silviosi has this correct, "No natural toning." Could be heat damage as suggested, but nothing natural. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5780 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 01:28 am I think this is a plating issue as others have said. IMHO, Mint luster (shiny areas) seems to be present on the plated and unplated area. If the plating was removed the luster wouldn't be visible.

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 01/28/2022 02:50 am If the plating is removed, which it is very hard and employ high technology, will be not congruent with the other side. Report this Post to the Staff
