Odd toning find. More photos added.

A couple of years ago, I went thru a small envelope with some coins in it, all Lincoln wheats. A 1945, 1945 D, a 1930 and a 1920. All were uncirculated. Both the 45 and 45 D toned like this and the 30 and 20 had no toning what soever. To my best guess, they were in the envelope for at least 12 or more years. I just wonder why only the two toned like this and the others did not. I'll try to round the others up and get photos of them all. I know I still have them.

    Will wait until I see the pictures of the others.... I am sure there will be some interesting theories offered. Cheers, RickO
