Also, just so you know, copper can tone in a huge array of browns/golds, but what your cent is showing is not natural toning. Report this Post to the Staff

td5173 Pillar of the Community United States 565 Posts	Posted 01/31/2021 7:53 pm It's hard to make that call. The coin is pretty worn and beat up. If it was me I would just throw it in a box and move on to the next one. Then when you have more experience come back to it an look at it again. Just my humble opinion. Report this Post to the Staff
