<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cremebrule, post: 1678509, member: 35227&quot;]FEs were known for weak strikes(especially the reverse) so it is not uncommon to find FEs in Unc. condition with weak wreaths or words (such as ONE CENT).</p><p><br /></p><p>However, the color looks extremely suspicious to me. I haven&#039;t been on ebay for awhile, but that style of photography looks like the signature style of KrytoniteComic&#039;s. If he photographed it then I can assume that the coin will look like such under ideal conditions/lighting. If that&#039;s an accurate display of the coin&#039;s luster and color then I would be 99% positive that the coin&#039;s been dipped/recolored. A FE in full, bright BU condition should have more luster; the coin pictured has a lot of muted/flat luster; especially on the reverse. The color is also off; FEs are Copper-Nickel composition; a bright BU example would have more of a silvery tinge to it instead of a bright Red look of Indian head cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my two cents about this one cent. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
