<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1550364, member: 26030"]<b>1964 Lincoln Cent (Proof).</b> "Winter Chill, Summer Fire". Cool silver ice on one side and molten burning fire on the other. Toning just doesn't get much more visually appealing than this! Robec photographed this monster 1964 Proof Lincoln that I bought (a few weeks ago) raw off eBay for $10. This is on its way (eventually) to PCGS for grading, where I am guessing a PR67RB grade is in store. This is an important coin in my research of toning as it's the first "silver-toned" Lincoln that I have ever seen where the silver colored toning blended into other colors (as clearly noted on the reverse). Until now, I have only seen silver toning (on copper coins) with a hard (distinct) boundary. By the way, I am not exactly sure what causes copper coins to develop silver colored toning, but I have seen a number of examples of this (all, I think, were proof Lincolns). In any case, Robec did an outstanding job with the photography! RobecsImages is fast becoming the "The other TrueView photography".</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://mindstar.com/cointalk_photos/RI_WL1964LincPRSilver.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
