Mrph12 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 What happened here? Would this be some kind of Toning Error or environmental damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coinbuf Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 There isn't any such thing as "toning error", just simple exposure to the elements. Sandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Toneing is not an error Toning can be many colours depending on the environment it was exposed to. Sandon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powermad5000 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Coins can tone in many different ways, and also some partially and others wholly. As others have stated, toning is not considered an error, but is a natural process when a metal reacts with its environment. On your cent, you can also see some very small spots of minor corrosion beginning. Unfortunately on these copper-clad zinc cents, once that process begins, it cannot be reversed and will only get worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
