[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 555680, member: 2972"]That's the way original circulated copper looks.... When the areas of the fields and devices are the same color, be worried. When the high points of the design (i.e. areas that have received circulation wear) are lighter than the rest of the coin, be worried. When the coin has darker areas where they are wear, and the rest of the coin is lighter -- that's the look of an original coin.
