Fasces is a bound bundle of wooden rods, sometimes including an axe with its blade emerging.

The fasces frequently occurs as a charge in heraldry, it is present on an older design of the United States ten cent coin

When stored in bags for extended periods, coins in close proximity to the cloth often acquire beautiful red, yellow, blue and other vibrant colors. Sometimes the weave of the cloth is visible in the toning. Some coins have crescent-shaped toning because another coin was covering part of the surface, thus preventing toning. Bag toning is seen most often on Morgan silver dollars.
