Mark, do you think the time span was even longer ? Kidding - no, I really did think I'd found something extremely special. I have been looking for a rainbow-toned steel cent literally for decades. To that point, I FINALLY started sifting through a bag (around a thousand or so) of steel cents I'd bought a long time ago and realized that about 150 of them were reprocessed examples - like this one. That's why it was able to acquire toning. In all these years, I have never found even a single bona-fide rainbow toned steel cent.

Hey James, how about a rainbow toned 43S Steel toned with a rainbown... certified PL by NGC? (NGC MS-66-PL) Yeah, I've got one. It's a bit hard to see the colors in this pic, but they are clear in hand. ldhair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
