Gold Colour Pennies -Toned or plated?

[Dimenhigh]

Hello , I have 5 of these "gold plated" Pennies & was wondering if this is a commen colour tone or if these are most likely plated . Thank you

I see a red ,red brown and average worn coins so I'm a little confuzzled. If you take them one at a time you will get better opinions or answers. Thanks for sharing.

PS Sometimes the coins are coated with a gold plating by individuals trying to make them more attractive. Hope this helps.

Thank you - I am assuming they were plated by somebody but some I am not sure of . To rephrase the question , Is gold a colour that pennies often tone into? Let me add that I dont know much about coin collecting

Also the 1993 on the bottom is just for an example of a reg colour

They could have just been exposed to something chemical and heat during circulation. Plated coins usually are a bit slicker. You could check the weight, but then if they are plated, they really don't have any extra value...

Toned I think.

I'm not sure any of us can say based on pictures. The brass plated planchets on Potter's site are real enough errors and I honestly don't think they would be all that rare. It's just a matter of an ever so slightly off mixture during the normal plating process.I have about a dozen of these myself.
