Picked this up in a lot recently. I'm trying to decide if it has been cleaned or just uneven toning or something else.

Thoughts?

When I see red/orange on a 200 year old copper coin I automatically think "cleaned". But it seems that the color is in the protected areas, so it may not have been cleaned. Tough call from pics, dar.

Like Hondo, I think the red is in protected areas. Cleaning usually looks opposite, where the protected areas stay brown.
