One Cent Toned Thread (post only the best)

True, but love it when copper tones while one has it, especially copper nickel. I keep current copper nickel coins just to see how they tone.

i live those 70's proofs

 

They are pretty, and a good lesson, certainly for me as a non-copper collector. If one looks at Greg's first set of coins, and then the AT ones as posted, the differences are pretty obvious in terms of transitions of colors.

 

67 rb.

I have a few toned cents. However, good photos depicting the toning are scarce.

 

its like pulling your own teeth. i HATE trying to capture toning. i can never get it right.

 

Talking about toning and environment. I live next to the coast with high salinity in atmosphere due to the fact that it never rains eventhough the humidity is between 60 and 80%. I bought this Susan B proof about a year ago. When I got it it looked like the second pic and now it has a deep blue toning. Less than a year. With the higher grade copper coins it is even more severe.

 

that's a funny looking cent

This 15 D has a lot going for it. I search high and low for coins with this look.

 

Sorry for jacking the tread, just wanted to show how fast something can tone. Unfortunatly, I do not have a US cent.
