Odd, although the title alludes to it, I never got that from any of your posts to this thread before this one.
I have no idea, but also would like to know if they are coming out with a new 7070.
Just went and looked for my references but was unsuccessful (just moved). Hopefully someone will spot this thread and lend a helping hand.
You asked for the cliff notes, I gave it to you. Never said I agreed with the perspective. ;)
Here are a few medium letters for your comparison....
1) It's haze, and very typical. 2) Store in a temperature and humidity controlled environment, but there's nothing to be done with those coins...

Here's a video my friends and I shot a few years ago. Has nothing at all to do with coin collecting, but rather another of my hobbies -- tarpon...
62 63 I'll bet the 1910 cleans up pretty well, but some of the spots will leave behind planchet/corrosion issues.
I see nothing in the photos to suggest recoloring. That said, copper is a funny metal, and what appears in hand often does not appear in...
If you like your coins the way they are, sun (actually, more correctly, a change in temperature) is bad. I do not believe that UV affects metals,...
