70's Kennedy

This one was the first coin I photo'd this year, Thought I'd share it. Came out of a set that had a few Target Toners.
The coin for the most part conveys a much different look, more like this.
This is still under lit but shows some more of the orange red perimeter.

Happy New Year!

What causes such a tone?

 

First, welcome to the neighborhood, Lucas!

There can be any number of causes for such toning, but many coins, particularly proof coins, are affected in such a way by environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.

pretty piece

 

Thank you for the response, I now have a better understanding on proof coins get toning!

 

Nice coin. Kennedys are some of my favorites.

 

To help out on this one. This was part of Proof set until I opened it. All the coins have a rich tone to them.
It is not unusual for the plastics to also off gas and help create the toning.
Toning will always boil down the storage conditions.

 

I plan on trying to get better photos sometime in the next week.
Stay tuned.

 

Great looking Kennedy.

 

Thanks.

 

I was unable to get a better photo of this Kennedy.
This one taken at a later date doesn't catch the color any better in fact I think it is worse.
This one helps show the tone one the reverse better.
