Who among us has a true "RAINBOW" coin and how many bands of color constitute a rainbow?

bolivarshagnasty

I'm thinking more than 3 colors, but what do I know? Do you own a coin with multiple colors side by side? Would love to see so post them here!
A teaser to start the thread...........

I”m sure some people will think this is a pointless distinction. However, to me, “multicolored toning” isn’t necessarily synonymous with “rainbow toning”. And I see a lot more of the former than the latter.

Edited to add: A number of the former have already been posted to this thread.

I own over 50 toners, and in my experience, you are far more likely to find a multicolor toned coin than a multi-banded toned coin with progressive colors. There are both in this thread. When it comes to a seven color rainbow toner, I don't remember ever seeing one.
This Sacagawea was purchased from our own @WingedLiberty this past year. It has lot's of colors but not necessarily those of a true rainbow. (I don't see Indigo or Deep Blue)
The Lincoln was purchased from @Watersport last year. I'm seeing three colors with that one.

I remember that ad on Saturday morning cartoons. It takes three licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. LOL

Although to paraphrase what an author once said, "Some rainbows are more equal than others."

Here are some from my photo archives: Aloha Stadium on Oahu (photo credit to son), Hilo harbor on The Big Island, and at the Hilton Hawaii Village in Waikiki. (The pots of gold have already been claimed.)

Genesis 9:9-15
9"I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10and with every living creature that was with you-the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you-every living creature on earth. 11I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth." 12And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.

Here's a closeup of the rim of the Kennedy I posted above.

I think I can make out all seven colors.

From the rim inward, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet.....
