Think there were seven '07's and six '06's, but the colors vary and they're not always consistent with the amount of wear. So how much does color matter in the grading process? Here's 4 of the '07's to compare Report this Post to the Staff

These pics are too soft to evaluate accurately. Sharper examples will help, along with pics of the reverses. Report this Post to the Staff

Anytime you see the golden color on a worn bronze cent, it should be assumed the coin is cleaned. While the level of detail is close in the 2 coins, the grading would be affected as one of the two appears to be cleaned. Edited by RedRaider 02/05/2022 1:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
