Archival-Monk New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 3:43 pm Hello all! And apologies for all of the posts bunched together--I tend to do things in batches. If not preferred in the forum, let me know and I'll adjust in the future. With this penny, is this an example of rainbow toning on a penny? If not, what might have caused this toning?

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19152 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 3:46 pm Toning it is. It's the result of copper surfaces being exposed to environmental agents. Copper is a reactive metal and environmental exposure can result in a range of toning effects. Report this Post to the Staff
Tacc Pillar of the Community United States 3535 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 4:19 pm I agree. Yours looks more like artificially or chemically created toning. Hard to say exactly how it happened. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95886 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 4:31 pm it looks artificially toned either by heat or chemicals. And your posting of your coins is very correct - one per topic. so good job on that. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/20/2024 5:42 pm Remember the word toning is just a marketable word for tarnish or a chemical degradation of the metal of the coin. Outside the coin hobby, Brasso and silver polish is sold to get rid of "toning" which is seen as deterioration and objectionable.

Archival-Monk New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/21/2024 07:55 am @marve, nope, found it in a roll of pennies. Each new roll is a new treasure hunt, I'm finding. Becoming a bit of an obsession. Report this Post to the Staff
