Weird RB Lincoln cents

ElmerFusterpuck

I bought these raw a few years ago, a nice bright red on the obverse and weird glowing greenish rims on the reverse with a glowing ember center. I don't think they are AT (paid $2 for both anyway), it seems most likely from an album or a wooden surface. What do you think?

Weird, but in a good way. Love 'dem green halos.

I would agree!

Those look like roll end coins from OBW rolls. They often develop nice colorations but these are pretty extreme and very beautiful.

I had a customer in the store Saturday offering a set of Lincoln cents in a blue Whitman folder. Some of the coins had a ring of green corrosion around the edges. I suspect the album was stored in a damp atmosphere.

Perhaps less severe storage conditions would produce a nice green halo on the reverse.

I too thought they might be endroll pieces with unusually nice toning.
