How about a 1901 article about gold coins from Maui, Hawaii?
“Color of Gold Coins,” Maui News, April 27, 1901.
"Some time ago a Frenchman placed together a number of gold coins of French mintage of beginning, middle and of the last century. He was much surprised to see that they differed in color. He set about finding out the reasons for this difference, and the results of his investigations have been published in La Nature.
There is paleness about the yellow of the 10 and 20 franc pieces which bear the effigies of Napoleon I and Louis XVIII that is not observed in the goldpieces of later mintage. One admirer of these coins speaks of their color as a 'beautiful paleness' and expresses regret it is lacking in later coins. The explanation is very simple...."
The rest of the story is in the third column of the attached article from the Maui News.
