A while back I found a 1907 Indian Head Cent laying at the bottom inside our dishwasher. I did not have one to begin with and have no clue how it got there or for how long, but it was extra clean. Nice re-find BTW.
I don't have pictures, but yeah, I've got a couple of Wheat Cents that used to be red that are now bugly brown.
Honestly, I wasn't done explaining why it was a failure, I didn't even realize that the thread had been posted. I completely missed the staple scratch. The cent has a very deep purple tone that I liked when I bought it. I think I am gonna put it in a roll and spend it.
