Stevelee83 Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 6:50 pm I've been going through my old proof sets and found the Lincoln cents are off tone is that going to add or devalue them? Thanks for the help Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73628 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 7:36 pm It shouldn't hurt the value. The toning still looks fairly normal. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 8:51 pm The copper coin will tone out and darken after time. I've seen PCGS slabbed cent coins classified as red, but now appear red/brown or even brown. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19112 Posts	Posted 09/15/2023 9:08 pm I've seen this before with cents in 2009 proof sets. It's a very subtle toning. Some collectors would be turned of by that, others love it. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 08:05 am Pic 5 looks like rim damage? As to toning, they all look just ok to me. Nothing + or - in regard to premium. But, they will probably keep toning so how they end up is anyone's guess. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Khromtau Pillar of the Community United States 676 Posts	Posted 09/16/2023 10:15 am I was wondering the same thing about pic 5 and the rim by the date also. Report this Post to the Staff
