Spence Moderator United States 34396 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 07:30 am @bad, just to be clear, is the order of coins the same in both pictures? In other words, you are saying that one cent is toned on the obv while being red on the rev and the other cent has one-sided toning, but just on opposite sides?

No way, plus look at the color of the background in all 4 pictures. Quote: I didn't realize these were exact opposites until tonight! what does that even mean?

Exactly, you can ignore the background, that's barking up the wrong tree! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12813 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 1:02 pm Nice. And how did you make this discovery? Do these feature places of prominence in your collection? The way you worded it, these seem to have been around for a bit. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94812 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 2:25 pm One coin was stored or displayed heads up and the other was tails up - to show both sides of a '55 cent. then they toned out while the opposite sides stayed protected.
