The DATA quote: Quote: FRED WEINBERG: AND every single non-error has the same dark color on the reeded EDGE of the coin. When Fred say this was at one ANA conventions back few decades. Him talk about annealing and other Mint errors and in same time Ken give an conference about toning , rainbow toning and fake toning. Data took just a small part of what him say without look at all content. Is correct to be nice red color when the core is new. In the case of the Delaware quarter, the color is correct for an aging cooper. Here you has to be very careful, the color. Heat after strike give a color which the cooper will never rich in normal conditions. Best way to see a cooper which was heat is the dark brown color with some nuances of blue petroleum. The cooper colors are upon the time: red, red-light brown, dark red-light brown and brown. Hope help you. PS: If is fake annealing, the nickel on the rim will have same color with the rest of the nickel and not white. is what Jeff talk about, the nickel.

Thanks Silviosi. The info helps a lot. Besides being a mint error the over annealing process leads to extremely well struck high grade coins with amazing luster. Thanks to all for helping to put this puzzle together

I found the original thread finally where I had taken the notes from. It was 2017 not from long ago. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/20...ling.307775/ I know improperly annealed planchets are difficult at times to identify properly. It appears that if the edge of the coin exhibits its true clad layers and their normal color, and does not show any signs of environmental damage on those layers, meaning that it doesn't appear to be the same coloration of the changed obverse or reverse surfaces, then there is a possibility it's a true Improperly annealed planchet which is what I was adding to the discussion. In that event you can proceed with either talking to an expert or going to a grader. This info should help eliminate some of the typical environmental damaged coins that people post.

Thanks again Datadragon and Coop. There are many coins that people ask about that are clearly environmental damage. The thing I've been saying is that these are not. Some agree and some don't. I appreciate everyone's input regardless

@RW1010, Appreciate all the images and time explaining your findings. You will find others that have posted the same thing https://www.cointalk.com/threads/20...tern.394386/ so clearly with all these coins having the exact same issues it needs to be looked at closer to being a mint issue or something commonly happening in the processing after coin production to have so many examples. Its unfortunate that at this time there is no complete agreement among those whom we might usually turn to in hopes to answer such questions but the more info and photos, the more likely an answer will come.

Thanks Datadragon. Nice coins. I think it's a mint error that everyone doesn't recognize yet unfortunately. Maybe because they haven't seen them before or for whatever reasons. It's not a new type of error so I don't know. Somewhat rare but there are graded examples so the info is out there

@Data: long time I do not was on cointalk.com. I read this explanations time ago. Also was a part of his exponential to the conference. I will look in my database to find the conference film is very interesting because touch many aspects of this branch of collecting and errors.
@COOP: Yes the Cu change the colors upon the time. Also in air tide or seal slabs will change. Cu is second best metal for electrical and temperature accumulations and transfer. Just changes of temperature will change the color. Is no way to stop this long term processes.
@RW: Those annealing coins are Mint Error. Yes not everyone's can recognize those on the spot. More education must be done, and like this all those who fake them will be lost in the wild.

Thanks Silviosi. It may be that once they enter circulation and the luster is gone they look like environmental toning instead of what they really are. It's hard to tell when the surface is all one color and they have additional staining
