Here are several reverse pics in different lighting of the blue streaked cent I posted yesterday. I guess I should have posted one of these with the others. On the reverse, the blue isn't streaked, but more a solid color mixed with brown "blueish-brown ?". How would one side be streaked and the other side be solid? By the way, thanks for all the feedback, information, and answers to my questions, most of the coins I've posted and asked questions about recently I've had for a long time and never really showed any one. Most of them have been put up for over 30 years and just forgot about, they just moved around with me boxed up with other belongings of mine. I have a lot from all over the world, most all are circulated coins that i've aquired for one reason or another, I've alway's put up any coin I've come across that looks differrent or interesting, I have hundred's of different types and dates, but to tell the truth, I never even heard the term "error coin" until about two years ago, but instantly found the subject fasinating. Since then when I have the time, which isn't to often, I've been trying to learn what I can about this type of collecting. Now I inspect every coin that passes through my hands, and have been purchasing many of uncirculated coins that I'm trying to inspect. Now that I have a little more time, I'm starting to go through some of the one's that I have put up, and I've been coming across some that are quite interesting, but some I can't seem to find the right information on, or I'm just trying to get an experinced opinion on. Just letting every one know why the reason for the questions and pics, and the many, many more to come, I just wish I had more time to check them out and post pictures and questions a little quicker so I could pick your brain's a little more. Thank's for your time.
coinic: Hmmm... I have to agre that the streaking that I usually see is normally on both sides of the coin. I don't have an answer for this one. Anyone? The Other Frank
My thoughts on what it is haven't changed - I still say it is toning that someone tried to remove from the obverse.
