Anyway, here he is. Opinions? swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 07:09 am Maybe the coin was in a folder of some kind and the folders composition reacted with the coin? Just a thought. John1 Edited by John1 02/03/2011 09:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 09:49 am Edges of the coin in direct contact with a folder or roll paper...I've seen it a bunch of times. Also seen Lincolns where the coin was nice and red except the edge, which was brown. It's common. Report this Post to the Staff

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 12:22 pm Well, I've seen lots of coins edge toned before, but none so perfectly placed. It would had to have been caused by some contaminant contact. I think it's "slicker than snot on a brass door knob"! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
HoosierDaddy Pillar of the Community United States 1164 Posts	Posted 02/03/2011 6:58 pm I've heard of people toning their coins with some type of high heat application. Looks too uniform. Doesn't look natural...but what do I know? Report this Post to the Staff
