silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 11/28/2022 04:07 am The clad will color yellowish. This it is the first step to toning, depending of the environment. Some time we mistake this with wrong annealing which it is far from. Report this Post to the Staff

MakesNoCentsToMe Valued Member United States 299 Posts	Posted 11/28/2022 5:18 pm I find those are somewhat common on the State Quarters for some reason. They do look nice and I usually set mine off to the side just for the heck of it. Report this Post to the Staff
