biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/07/2010 1:27 pm Does it have any luster? It looks pretty dull from here and if so, throw it back to pocket change. A number of post-mint alterations/conditions can give a coin a copperwash/improperly annealed appearance but the real thing will have full luster while imitators are dead Report this Post to the Staff

(1)If it isn't MS then the wear would break through the wash and the high points will show the normal color. (2) If if it doesn't have luster it probably isn't Mint State (See point 1) Report this Post to the Staff
