Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 4233 Posts	Posted 01/06/2022 9:17 pm Absolutely cleaned.Just look at the scrubbing hairlines lines . Brasso is a likely culprit . Used in conjunction with a brush of some sort . Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10158 Posts	Posted 01/06/2022 9:32 pm Canadian coins are bronze, not copper. I have a number of Canadian cents with "brass" toning, some of it natural, some of intentional... we usually get about 3-4 1859 examples posted per year, with optimistic folks who think they have the real deal...

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 01/06/2022 9:33 pm Cleaning can result in some interesting colour changes See https://www.kijiji.ca/o-profile/102...2/listings/1 for extraneous items for sale from our collection and the last few items from our (now closed) eBay store.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 67754 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 09:01 am This is not an unusual color shade for this coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 797 Posts	Posted 01/25/2022 10:02 pm I've heard cleaned copper/bronze described as 'salmon coloured'... Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 4295 Posts	Posted 01/26/2022 08:18 am As I've said before, concerning 1859's, there are 3-4 cleaning agents in everyone's home, under the sink or in the laundry, that will turn coinage-bronze into something resembling brass in color. This coin has been "scrubbed" heavily and my first choice is Brasso, as mentioned above. Report this Post to the Staff
