This was the oldest but has this piece missing. I'm assuming this happened after the minting process, but I don't know much, if any, when it comes to that! Report this Post to the Staff

Still a nice gift from the in-laws though.

He's given me and my wife a lot of nice coins! Also the one that gave me the 3 incomplete albums! Report this Post to the Staff

CCB420 Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 02/05/2022 10:39 am So when I'm researching Indian heads, I read about reds and browns. After looking at some of these, some shine a lil brighter, others more brown. I realize this may be a stupid question, but I'm assuming, the browning happens from just being in circulation and exposed to environmental conditions? An uncirculated coin wouldn't have any brown?
