2foxy Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 05:29 am I found this 1975 D LMC with beautiful rainbow toning on both sides, it is iridescent, could this be natural or artificial? Thanks so much for your help :) Edited by 2foxy 03/23/2023 05:36 am Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 03/23/2023 4:44 pm Just be aware, the toning will continue to change. The are two camps on these, one loves them, others just consider it damage. If you like it, keep it. I think they are cool overall Report this Post to the Staff

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 03/24/2023 9:27 pm Here's the thing I have a bunch of LWC/LMC in an original green Meghrig album that I can definitely state was put together in the 1960s. The reverses on some of them (board/paper side) have similar toning, but the obverses are completely normal and have no toning (the plastic slide side) I find it slightly less likely this is natural toning on the obverse, it would require a rather specific set of circumstances. Could be chemical damage that resembles toning (surface contamination/ED.) That being said, why would someone waste time doing a thoroughly mediocre AT job on a common-date AU Lincoln Cent?
