I know sometimes new folks will get excited about a gold colored Lincoln they have found but this was a cool example that shows it's nothing more than what it was exposed to sometimes. I thought is was neat because the obverse shows it very well but the reverse of the same coin is almost a normal hue.
If you set the cent heads up and sprayed it with clear laquer or anything, it might look like that.
If you look close at the obv, it looks like it had bubbles in several areas (above the last 2 0s, near the tie, above the E of liberty, 2 of them higher up in line with the I of liberty) on his chin, forehead, shoulder and vest, those high areas look like the coating was wearing off.

Nice call and good eye Ed!! I would have never thought of that and some of the overspray crept around on the edges of the reverse. Makecents to me!
