biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 07/17/2017 12:31 pm The first set of images has a poor white balance skewing the color but it appears that the coin on the left is a normal oxidized brown color while the coin on the right still retains some original mint red color. For the last group dated 1978, the coin on the right has been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
