sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 5:31 pm A little unusual, but quite OK. I collect World coins, all ages. There is a huge variation in patina in coins of this age range, in my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 6:06 pm It looks normal for a copper coin of this age. I think that this type is also very hard to find in a problem free grade. I give this one an XF-45. Very nice coin! Report this Post to the Staff
Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 6:15 pm After collecting copper since the mid 80s I've seen all kinds of colors and hues, natural and artificial. The little sister shown is a little uneven as far as color but IMHO it's totally natural. Awesome coin I'd say it's an EF-40 but as far a Cohen variety I'm leaning towards C-3.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18670 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 8:08 pm Copper reacts in different ways to different types of exposures. I think its fine and is stronger than 40. I grade it at 45 Report this Post to the Staff

Pytellc Valued Member 469 Posts	Posted 01/13/2015 9:56 pm Well I'm glad I posted here before buying. I'd never have thought that was normal coloring/patina. Just goes to show how much of a beginner I am. Report this Post to the Staff
