Toned Lincoln Cents Question

[Mammashoe]

I have many beautifully toned LMC. My question is, if one side is fire red and blue and the other side is more yellowish green, does it get a red designation or do all toned cents get a brown designation?

In my opinion and experiences with TPGs, a toned coin may receive either a red-brown or brown designation. I personally don't see the justice in giving the Lincoln cents a color. There are plenty of other coin types out there that tone, but they don't recognize that as distraction. Some coins like Morgan Dollars which can tone beautifully seem to gain props and in the potentially a higher grade...

I think the highest graded toned Lincoln I had was a ms65 red brown. It was a pretty common year.

I have three others, all proofs. Shocking pink, chocolate brown and a red/blue one that affects just the flat field. I have quite a few rolls of Lincoln cent toned coins in storage.

The TPGs grade the obverse and then the reverse and average the grade. I do not know for certain what the graders thoughts are on toned Lincolns, so I do not know if it's a plus or a negative. They may ha e addressed the issue already, and an answer may be on their website

This first one would be interesting, red on the obverse, yellow on the reverse. RB?
The second coin I love the obverse, the reverse shows some of those electric blue tones in better lighting. It's not everyones cup of tea, I love finding these in old rolls.
