This pretty much proves that whatever the mint is washing the coins with is the cause of this brown and gold color toning. if you don't believe me get some coins directly from the mint in the collector rolls then open the rolls and leave the coins in a open box then look at them after about a month. if you don't want to open the rolls just take a look at the exposed coins at the end of the rolls.
