Sampson New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/05/2020 10:27 am Hi All, Please take a look at the uploaded image of this 1909S Indian Head cent. I would appreciate any ideas as to how this coin developed such strange toning? Was it treated? Can this coin be restored by any of the grading companies such as NGC? Thanks, Sampson * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff
