I picked this roll of quarters up this morning at the bank.

The wrapping is made of plastic and I was told the roll is likely from the mint.

Anyhow, the two end coins have gold toning.

I have seen rainbow toning but never just gold.

Any ideas on how the quarters got this way?

Thanks for your help.

Probably a chemical reaction with the plastic wrapper.

Probably right. But, the Goldfinger theory is running a close second. :laughing7:

More oxygen on the ends, so, more toning by the plastic.

Just toning. Also, they didn't come from the mint like that. Courier company wrapped them.
