1928D lincoln cent toning

[nulte]

Im not sure how the lincoln cents tone out into colors like this AMAZING purple toned, 1928D cent. It s like its an electric purple, and its pretty wild in hand.How do coins get these fabulous color on them, are they treated somehow, or around certain gases that they oxidise in these cool colors, or is it natural over time that they get their color saturation? I dont remember the toned lincolns looking this dramatic, when i was a kid, but I was hunting woodys not toned beautys like this one

Very nice. The coin s are subject to weather, humidity, hot and cold temperature fluctuations plus it depends on which type of medium - paper rolls, mint set cellophane. So in short, there are quite a few variables. I have in my possession a shocking pink and dark chocolate proof Lincolns along with an almost snow white dime. I have about two rooms of toners, common date ones. The first several coins near the ends of the paper roll seem to be the best candidates for having gorgeous toning. It's ull of natural splotches and at times uneven tones.

Thanks! i have found some nice pink ones and some neat greenish ones, but I think this is my first found in the wild purple one. I too have a stunning dime where almost the whole field has toned blue, but the deep cameo is unaffected, pcgs graded. Come to think on it, most of my toned clad proof coins are from around, i want to say 77-82, but MY favorites are my gold toned MS silver war nickels bought at scrap price. the whole set, AU/BU less than a buck apiece,and i want to say 4-6 are beautifully toning a deep golden color. I hope Im not messing the forum up asking these questions about my coins, Im trying to further educate myself as I thin my collection down from sheer bullk, to managable ,numbers , separating out the niche coins and attributing as many errors and variety's i come across, for sale at a later date(I havent sold ANYof my coins in years, they actually got stolen a few years back-no insurance,so ive been rebuilding) and out of 1000 total war nickels i gathered and finally went through, I ACTUALLY found 3 1943/42 nickels, Ive been looking for 1 most of my life, and i HAD 3,unnoticed, in my collection.
