It's perhaps a beautiful example. Definitely above the average grade we see here.

lots of meat on this one. Probably AU sharpness but looks messed with by the color. Probably retoning now.

Yes, it is (at least to my eyes.) I'm hoping to get some of the accumulated gunk off the coin and see what lies beneath.

Thank you Nickelsearcher

Thanks Jerry - The color is a bit strange, but then copper does strange things, possibly stained long ago and some of it was wiped off from circulation. I'll post up fresh images after a good long acetone soak and rinse.

The coloring does not differ much from the Numista example (mine does have a bit of crud on it more than the example in the link below though.

Can't tell what's going on - looks more like cleaned now retoning from the pictures. Post pics after the acetone soak. That seems like a good candidate for a Verdi-Care treatment too.

Nice Large Cent, Dearborn! It's in a nice high grade as well. Looks like it was cleaned at some point and has retoned.

For being almost 200 years old, looks good to me. Hoping the bath helps, if not maybe look into retoning it.....
