DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 6:19 pm IMHO EF45 Cleaned and then artificially toned. Some corrosion is starting to reform. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 6:40 pm I'm tempted to say this is an original uncirculated coin with minor rim issues, but this certainly not my field. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5585 Posts	Posted 05/27/2023 8:13 pm It's either a weak strike 45 or a VF-30 ... just looking at the crown vertical jewels. Report this Post to the Staff
Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 06:35 am The ring of pink is nice but I agree with @DBM that it might be re-toning of a cleaned coin. How accurate is the rest of the colouring? The ligher, yellowy-orangey background? The possible corrosion at 12 o'clock on the obverse is also concerning. The vertical jewels and other high point details look better than VF30 to me. I would have put them in the EF45 range, maybe even a little higher. Report this Post to the Staff
mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9150 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 09:01 am I'd put it at AU50 Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19115 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 09:06 am I'm at AU50. And yes, I do like the toning. What was used as the light source for the photography? Would love to see this in-hand (in a perfect world). Report this Post to the Staff

tripoli Pillar of the Community Canada 867 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 1:49 pm That's an unusual colour for a copper penny. Certainly pleasing but I can't say I've seen that shade of red/pink/rose on a penny before. Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 05/28/2023 2:15 pm Looks much more attractive, yet still unnatural, in the new pics. A nice looking coin to hold on to. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
purelywasted Pillar of the Community Canada 1505 Posts	Posted 05/29/2023 01:23 am Was the black background photos taken with the tongs? If not, What does it look like without the red tongs? There seems to be a similar colour Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36558 Posts	Posted 11/10/2023 11:59 am AU details, altered surfaces. (cleaned, artificial tone) Report this Post to the Staff
Sharks Pillar of the Community Canada 1760 Posts	Posted 11/11/2023 12:04 pm But it still is quite an eye-opener. Never saw colours/toning like that before except on artificially toned coins. Report this Post to the Staff
TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 11/20/2023 01:03 am 50-60 years ago it was hard to find a good stapler and staples, strong enough to go through the thickness of a 2x2 holder. Put a piece of tape ! Cheap and easy. Store the 2x2's and open some to recheck over the years for new varieties talked about in Cdn Coin News. Let the tape dry out and..... (they were red when they were originally enclosed). Edited by TerryT 11/20/2023 01:12 am Report this Post to the Staff
