Post a Toned Coin

What kind of toning is it called where there's a solid colored stripe in the middle of a cent? I had seen one on here I believe.

Can you post a photo that would help.

 

I will when I get home. I'm at my daughters choir concert. It will be a couple of hrs from now.

 

Colors maybe blue but have no explanation for strips unless drawn by a chemical reaction?

 

A lovely 1963 Proof cent. Got this in a bag of coins from an auction site. It's uncirculated.

 

I guess you would call it a cent with a "solid colored stripe in the middle". It is not a woody if that is what you are asking. I was set on/exposed to something to give it that stripe either purposefully or by accident.

 

That was the name. What exactly is a woody? Safe to call this a skunk? Lol

 

See https://www.cointalk.com/threads/got-wood.65353/
A woody is when the alloy has not been mixed properly and the different compositions tone to different colors.

 

Rubber band toning

 

A few toners I picked up over the weekend.

 

1916 Mercury dime a bit blue.

 

One more picked up today.

 

Thank you Winged Liberty for making this coinboard for me. Unlike WL, I don't have many colorful Lincoln Proofs after 1977. Maybe someday, if he'll leave some for others.

 

Beautiful Lincoln!

 

Some Russian clad proofs. Impossible to find with these colors. Luckily I found a 4-coin lot of them.


Indirect light, they look like this.
