<p>[QUOTE=&quot;WingedLiberty, post: 1238850, member: 26030&quot;]I bought this &quot;lime green&quot; Proof Buffalo Nickel a few months ago. This coin has been previously posted on CoinTalk and seemed to generate a lot of controversy about whether it was naturally toned or artificially toned.&nbsp; I myself thought that it was possible it was AT&#039;d although I just liked it so much I was willing to buy it anyway.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>About 10 days ago I found and bought a green-toned Proof Lincoln cent.&nbsp; What struck me when I got the Proof Lincoln in hand was how similar the toning color was on the Lincoln to the toning color on the Buffalo.&nbsp; Since nickels contain 75% copper, I would think toning patterns on Nickels and Copper Cents could tend to run in tandem.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In any case, seeing this green-toned Lincoln Cent has made me think my lime green Buffalo might indeed be naturally toned. Or at least it makes me think the toning on the Proof Buffalo might not be so far out in left field as I originally thought.&nbsp;&nbsp; I found it interesting that I was able to get a toning &quot;confirmation&quot; from another coin like this -- these 2 coins were bought months apart, from different sellers, that live about 2000 miles apart.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]132446.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH]132447.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
