Whitman Album + COA = Wackadoo Lincoln Cent Toning

For all of you who want the scientific formula:

WA + COA = WLCT

Bought this Whitman cent album today at the LCS. Immediately I noticed the strange toning caused by (what I assume was) a COA or some other piece of paper (no longer part of the album.)



Top right corner of the paper:



Nicest three toners - favorite being the "two-face" 1981 on the right:

I think, if presented as a set in the album such as you bought it, this is a really cool and interesting thing.

I think, if presented individually, some of those coins will receive a not-so-friendly reception.

But in the album - that's pretty freakin neat.

 

That's easy enough to solve. Include a photo of the coins in the album with each and every toner.
