<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 8384664, member: 8959&quot;]I&#039;ve been an eac collector for many years, focusing primarily on the early dates 1793-1814. In my experience, in the condition they are usually found early cents will typically exhibit patinas in varying shades of light brown, tan/brown, all the way to dark brown, with, occasionally, a hint of green.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bright original mint red is very unusual with the early dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>This late date cent, however, has a somewhat unusual colour. The pictures are an accurate representation.</p><p><br /></p><p>It would be too easy to dismiss this as a result of cleaning. In my experience, cleaned large cents usually have bright red, or red/orange hues.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1487988[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1487989[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The surfaces show no hairlines which may result from a cleaning.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you all think?&nbsp; cleaned?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
