Blue 58d Wheats...

My introduction to Foreigner was from an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Someone say blue (or green)?

 

Blue Lincolns may have been exposed to MS70 coin cleaner. I'd avoid them unless they're already in a slab.

 

Always?

 

Nope; that's why he used the term "may have been exposed."

Evidence (I use the term advisedly) exists that MS70 can, under certain circumstances, change existing copper patina to blue. I like the result, personally, but you won't see me recommending MS70 for anything.

 

Ya know, I was suspect of the right one at first but with what I assumed was elevated chromatics at the hair area and elsewhere plus the mm's are in the same placement I then assumed they were from the same die which then led me to the next assumption that they were in the same obw roll that toned them. I know it was a lot of assumptions but I didn't have a loupe so I had to play detective without my csi department (loupe); still haven't looked for die markers though to see if they truly are from the same die

 

Both of the coins in the OP look to have been processed and artificially toned. I would suspect MS70, as has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but they look unnatural to me.

 

Wow!, here I am scrolling down, admiring some beautiful blue-beasts and then this beautiful 1955 with serious doubling.wow! made me rub my eyes thanks
