I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary. Looks like a normal Wheat cent to me. |

Does it still look pink? I used the other for my own comparison/reference.  |

Women are color blind Actually, less than 1% of women are colorblind, however around 8% of men are colorblind (including me, I suffer from moderate Red/green colorblindness) Its also been proven that women can see more colors than men. |

I don't think it was "cleaned", I think it was dipped (maybe in a misguided attempt to remove the carbon spots).

I think it was dipped  , but dipping copper cleans it, as it does damage the surface unlike what happens to silver/gold. |

It was dipped.,. What does that mean? Dipping a coin in an acid thiourea solution. Example brands are Tarn-X, EZ-EST, Jeweluster... http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...5-ounce.htmlTypically only used with silver, it strips the outermost layer of metal from the coin so it will remove toning. It is generally discouraged unless you really, really, really know what you are doing. Leaving a coin in too long (the margin of error being fractions of a second) will ruin any remaining luster. |
