Ok here is my question. How much does a coins color affect its grade. I have two indian heads that are in awsome shape, liberty readable and very sharp, the reverses sre perfect...but both coins have an odd color, not like they have been cleaned though. One is red and one is a shade of blue and bronze. Other than the coloration the coins are near perfect.

Eye appeal is part of grading. If you can take some nice pics and post them for us, we could give a better opinion.

The color of copper coins has a dramatic effect on their value.

That said, many people do like toning and certain tones can bring large premiums.

If you have a pic we can let you know more.
