kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 02/03/2015 08:22 am IMO the differential toning is strictly from handling, not a cleaning. The areas close to the devices are in naturally protected areas. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/03/2015 12:38 pm I completely agree with kanga (and CC2012 while I'm at it). This is much the same thinking one applies to circulated Seated coinage, in terms of the darker look of the patina. Report this Post to the Staff
Nickel Guy Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 02/03/2015 1:18 pm I'm on board with everyone else, it doesn't look cleaned from looking at the photos. Looks like a very attractive, evenly worn and circulated big sister to me. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/03/2015 5:20 pm Thanks. I really want to like this coin, but it's so much brighter than my others. Guess I'm biased toward the dark ones. Here are some more pictures I took with a flash to try and show the red more. Do your opinions still hold? Thanks. Ed Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 02/03/2015 5:41 pm My opinion stands, because I know how destructive a flash is to the natural look of a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 02/03/2015 9:19 pm OK, thanks. Looks like I have a better coin than I thought. Not bad for $7. These large cents have been more of a learning experience than any other type of coin so far, with so many different colors and surface conditions ...not to mention the attributions. But it's all big-time fun Report this Post to the Staff
buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 01:20 am I was going to say not cleaned as well but I am not the authority on it. Face is a little chewed up but definitely a good deal at $7. A dealer I go to sells them in a box for $10 like that. Report this Post to the Staff
