Four scored in seven years, of these gold toned Lincoln cents. Anyone else ?

I guess, I walked into that one. lol
Over the past 7 years or so 2 coins were found in bank rolls and now 2 more were found just a few months apart in pocket change.
Photographing is almost impossible to catch their in hand yellow color (tone ?).
First photo was helped by me to show what color I see in hand.
The second photo is what my computer with it's app see's.
The center coin, in both photos, is for a color reference, but you knew that.
Is this some kind of nt or just paint. In hand they don't look like paint.
The coins are fully tone covered. They also match each other. Not a gold look, unless that's on your mind.
Any input would be welcomed. Simular photo's are welcomed even more.
.Computer's version is off color, being the in hand color.

the copper has reacted with some zinc to change the copper plating into brass
Maybe they are woodies and were stained with a golden stain.
Just remember...the advice you receive on a site is worth every bit of what you paid for it.
Most poetic topic title ever
30+ years coin shop experience (ret.) Coins, bullion, currency, scrap & interesting folks. Loved every minute!
Like the play on words for the title!
I think 2016 would be the only modern cent like that.
"There's no such thing as a stupid question..."
I don't think a date plays a part in a theory of how the skin reacts to a foreign kind of a negative press wash. ( MRC ? )
There, I started a theory with a guess.
Any more Lincoln Cents out there ?
