Intriguing thread.
Here are some colorful copper coins in my collection. I do like the variety of looks copper coins can have.
P.S. I have a 1967 Lincoln cent that I pulled out of circulation in the late 1960's as a YN. I call it "Smoke On The Water" as a tribute to its "Deep Purple" color. I included that cent in a recent submission to PCGS and will post the Trueview photo of that coin when it is available.
I really like the "staircase" positioning of the date.

Love them all...the green iridescent, gray, blue, silver, rusty, rainbow tones!
The Green is Terrific. You can’t duplicate that! It’s the real deal in my book

Nice! I wanted that coin but backed off because it was graded RED. I think my 66RB may actually be redder. Jealous kinda though since yours is so beautiful.
Here’s mine:
And a toner from the same set that is still the best I’ve ever seen:

It's funny. PCGS gave it a 64BN
No red?

@robec Nicest 14D I have ever seen. Congrats on that piece of copper.
When I get my new computer, I will post a few in the 40's and 50's.

Great looking coin!

I made a video a while ago as a fun little project to figure out how video editing stuff worked. Anyways, I liked matte proof Lincolns at the time, so I made a compilation of pictures of colorful (or otherwise good-looking) MPLs I found on CoinFacts. None of the coins are mine - in fact, some belong to members of this forum. If I remember correctly (I haven't been doing as much coin stuff the past few months), these coins were initially sold in packages made of a type of tissue paper that contained a high concentration of sulfur. This caused many coins to obtain unique colors after being exposed to sulfur fumes for long periods of time.

I think this might be Stefs...
This coin shows the beauty of the RB coin.
This coin shows the beauty of the BN coin.
This coin shows the beauty of a chocolate color BN copper coin.
