Thread: Large Cent Giveaway to a YN or Financially Strapped Collector

One suggestion would be to try to color correct them in a photo software package taking the slab back to white -- that will also correct the coin color. Here are some tiny thumbnails I got when I bought this coin a few years ago. The images are too small to be useable but does give a good guide on what the slab color should be. Glad you got it!!
