jbuck Moderator United States 192924 Posts	Posted 08/14/2026 1:57 pm I guess it has less than 5% of the original red colour. https://www.pcgs.com/news/rd-rb-bn-...copper-coins Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20009 Posts	Posted 08/15/2026 5:19 pm I wonder how old that slab is. I would be shocked if that coin met their current toning standards. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 192924 Posts	Posted Today 5H 23M ago Quote: I wonder how old that slab is. I would be shocked if that coin met their current toning standards. Would PCGS have published this if it is something that would not pass muster today? A better question... Does marketing run these write-ups by the grading staff?

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15748 Posts	Posted Today 4H 55M ago I'm generally not a fan of toning - but I'd cherish that coin in my collection. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 20009 Posts	Posted Today 2H 17M ago I've submitted similar coins and had them come back bagged. The toning progression is atypical for what they accept. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26821 Posts	Posted Today 1H 25M ago Toning is a sign of improper storage or manipulation. This coin? Probably manipulation. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
