KerryKz Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 06/26/2023 12:49 am I tried to get angles in the light to accurately show the coloring... wondering thoughts on if this is faked? I have not touched or rinsed this coin. This is how I received it. And thoughts on grade would be nice also Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34395 Posts	Posted 06/26/2023 06:19 am @ker, to be clear, are you worried that the coin is fake or rather that it has artifice toning? Thx.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18640 Posts	Posted 06/26/2023 07:41 am when you see this dull rose tinted color on a well circulated copper coin most assuredly you have a cleaned coin XF details (cleaned) Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19118 Posts	Posted 06/26/2023 07:42 am The photos look to be enlargements of low resolution pics, so it's difficult to narrow in on a grade--somewhere in the VF35-XF45 range likely. I do like the toning, but it could be the result of 're-toning' after a cleaning long, long ago. Edited by ijn1944 06/26/2023 09:10 am Report this Post to the Staff
KerryKz Pillar of the Community United States 586 Posts	Posted 06/26/2023 08:18 am Not worried the actual coin is fake... was thinking more along the lines of retoning or result of some chemical bath. Though I do thunk its quite pretty I had the feeling it would end up being considered details Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/26/2023 08:40 am Agree, EF details (cleaned and re-toning). Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19931 Posts	Posted 06/26/2023 08:52 am An EF coin should be a little more on the brown side. It's an old coin, I don't believe it to be intentionally cleaned. It probably went through quite a lot in it's life but the color doesn't look bad to me. EF-45 (barely), lean to EF-40 Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
