Lol, rust preventative.... more like a recipe for galvanic corrosion.

Speaking of 1943 cents, has anyone come across one with anything you'd call "toning," as opposed to "corrosion"?

 

Nope - either BU or rusty. Although alot of the BU's have carbon spots which drives me up a wall!!

 

Not many, but I have seen a couple with a fair amount of toning. This is the best I have.

 

This one got plated twice. They did a nice job of it.

 

Coins in U.S. History...you gott'a love it!

 

It all depends on ambient temp, moisture contact and of course, the licker!

 

Gotta do some stuff now, but later I will dig out my 1943 toner I fell in love with.

 

Yes, and quite beautiful iridescent color!

EDIT: See above.

 

They actually have a science award for this! A few of my daughter's friends ended up doing this and they got an award from Tootsie:

I like to cheat and get the pop with the outer candy part off-center so the dark tootsie center shows through.

 

I want to practice with my friend...

 

BTW, how did you know that the RED ones are my favorite?

 

Just a hunch...
