Interesting toning pattern

[admrose]

Any idea what would cause this pattern?

Looks like it placed on wire rack of some sort after being cleaned, The wires kept the air from oxidizing the copper evenly.

I'm a toner collector and I like to call this the "Tiger Stripe Effect". I have pulled many wheaties with almost the exact same toning pattern out of old Whitman Albums, some of them had beautiful rainbow toning but many of them looked exactly like this one. I think this pattern could be caused by the adhesive used in the albums IMO. I like it!

That's a shame because the toning on the front is quite nice IMO

Indeed! That's a very nice natural wheatie!

It would look better on a red, never really liked toning on browns.
