<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2790015, member: 36864&quot;]When copper is improperly cleaned, it generally takes on an orange appearance.&nbsp; Really, unless it is mint state, a copper should always be pretty brown.&nbsp; Here is an example from my large cent collection which really shows how unnatural the orange is compared to a nice original piece.&nbsp; These have a similar light wear pattern and a similar age, so they should really look about the same.&nbsp; The 1840 was obviously cleaned sometime in the past.[ATTACH=full]647749[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]647754[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
