On my coin display cabinet I have about 30 common date walkers that I have piling out of an old, thin cloth bag so it kind of looks like a bank bag. Anyway, I happened to take a look at some of the coins that were in the bag and was surprised to see the obverse of one had an amazing electric blue toning over the majority of the obverse surface. This color change only took about three months? Any ideas why such a strong color in so little time? Sulfur in the bag?

Can you account for the reason only one had toning?
