Message:: [QUOTE="Ordinary Fool, post: 2670368, member: 85318"]I am specifically inquiring about 2010 and later pennies, uncirculated, which display these specific types of marks that I have not observed on zinkers prior. Perhaps you have earlier pennies similarly marked and could show me some? Maybe some early 80's specimens? Can you show me any from the 80's or 90's that said rinse spots have since manifested in this "toning" remaining stable and static or blossomed into monster color coins similar to beautifully aged and gradable, or doctored and ungradable 100+-year-old silver coins? A progression? I am willing to accept that if toning broadly describes any and all coloring, ok. I do not see that the linked article addresses or explains the actual observable nature of these spots or their causes. However, it is clearly evident these "toning spots" present to the naked eye as rinse spots right out of BU rolls and hot off the mint. I see these only on the 2010+ pennies and perhaps they exist on the 2009's as well. I don't have any of those BU to verify and none of my 2009 AU-'s have these "rinse spots". Careful examination reveals the "rinse spots" have very undeniably common features and even with the huge spots showing pinpoint or slit piercing of the copper plating, surrounded by greater amounts of "toning", not visible to the naked eye. I'll get some pix up in a few minutes. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
