[QUOTE="IntenseBlue, post: 19057308, member: 73527"]This past week I purchased 3 bu rolls of wheat cents off of ebay. I have a question regarding the coloration on one 2 of the rolls. Two of the rolls have what appear to be toning splotches on some of them, lines on others, and then again rings on some. The color is almost as if a red brown coin would have, but the coloration is not brown at all. They have a yellowy brassish look on the outside edges off of the rim, and then an orangy red in the centers or in blots. The brassy color reminds me of a bullet casing. The orangy red looks like a brand new cent. What is odd is that the natural red color looks to be the tone. Can cents tone from red to a brighter yellow, almost as if turning in reverse. A select few of these have spots on them also that resemble a silver color or shade. It almost appeared as wear but I'm not sure as I've seen older brown cents in AU and MS with this. I've attempted to catch these in photograph for almost 3 hours now and have given up. It's immediately noticeable in hand to naked eye. The camera either glares or appears one color. I'll try again tomorrow.[/QUOTE]
