[QUOTE="Rosalita, post: 4747927, member: 110895"]Hi guys, I found this 1916 [URL='https://www.coincommunity.com/us_small_cents/lincoln_wheat_ear.asp']Wheat penny[/URL] while coin jar hunting and was wondering about the toning on this coin. The obverse has brown toning and the reverse has red toning. Could this 2 toning have occurred from sitting in a glass jug with a lot of other pennies? Is this 2 sided toning rare? Also wanted to ask weather this is a proof penny? I read that square rims are an indication of a proof pennies. How can you tell for sure when searching old pennies?
