nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15381 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 7:45 pm It's perhaps a beautiful example. Definitely above the average grade we see here. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
jerryc39 Pillar of the Community United States 3151 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 7:56 pm lots of meat on this one. Probably AU sharpness but looks messed with by the color. Probably retoning now. Edited by jerryc39 01/21/2026 10:01 am Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 7:57 pm Quote: Are the red//orange areas original mint lustre? Yes, it is (at least to my eyes.) I'm hoping to get some of the accumulated gunk off the coin and see what lies beneath. Thank you Nickelsearcher Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 7:59 pm Thanks Jerry - The color is a bit strange, but then copper does strange things, possibly stained long ago and some of it was wiped off from circulation. I'll post up fresh images after a good long acetone soak and rinse. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94636 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 8:21 pm The coloring does not differ much from the Numista example (mine does have a bit of crud on it more than the example in the link below though. https://en.numista.com/19856 Collecting since 1972.

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10472 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 8:34 pm Can't tell what's going on - looks more like cleaned now retoning from the pictures. Post pics after the acetone soak. That seems like a good candidate for a Verdi-Care treatment too. Report this Post to the Staff
Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73579 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 9:12 pm Nice Large Cent, Dearborn! It's in a nice high grade as well. Looks like it was cleaned at some point and has retoned. Errers and Varietys. Edited by Errers and Varietys 01/20/2026 9:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Greasy Fingers Pillar of the Community United States 6988 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 10:17 pm For being almost 200 years old, looks good to me. Hoping the bath helps, if not maybe look into retoning it..... Report this Post to the Staff
