Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 7363 Posts	Posted 09/14/2026 12:44 am Can't tell much about the toning due to picture quality. Can say the coins been cleaned (most likely yearssssss ago). Is the coin pinkess in color? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 196546 Posts	Posted 09/14/2026 11:40 am Plating? Maybe. Old cleaning? Maybe. Or it was environmental damage/tone from a long time ago. The cent then circulated again and wore some of it away which then toned normally.
