moose59 Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 06/06/2023 11:52 am I recently acquired this New Zealand 1958 Penny. I think it is stunning in it color. It is maybe a F/VF but that is ok. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/06/2023 12:22 pm I worry that the coloring might be artificial. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/06/2023 3:29 pm Doesn't look natural, especially for a circulated coin. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 1608 Posts	Posted 06/06/2023 9:21 pm I'm not really into a lot of foreign coins but this does have a certain eye appeal. I rather like it! Report this Post to the Staff

ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2231 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 7:42 pm I like it, it's a little mottled but the effect is very nice. I have a few old aussie pennies that have toned similar from being stored in an old cardboard album. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient.

Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 15747 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 7:45 pm I wonder how that toning would stand up to either a distilled water or acetone rinse? Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
ttkoo Pillar of the Community Australia 2231 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 7:55 pm I'd say it would have no effect. I think I heard that baking soda and lemon juice will strip off toning. The Ox moves slowly, but the Earth is patient. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/08/2023 8:10 pm I believe this is AT'd - perhaps with heat or chemicals. Report this Post to the Staff
