pictured are two 1989P Lincoln's. there is a dramatice color difference betweent the two. the one on the left is almost a brassy yellow color. can anyone give me some insights here. thanks.
It couldn't be a mint plating. Coins that year are not plated. This started in 1982. I think it is toning. I've seen that on coins I've found of the solid copper coins.
