<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 703312, member: 19423&quot;]I don&#039;t think the coin has been harshly cleaned.&nbsp; Your coin appears to have woodgrain toning though, which accounts for the streaky color.&nbsp; From what I understand, this occurs when the copper alloy used on these isn&#039;t mixed well and the different metals tone differently in a woodgrain pattern.&nbsp; Some collectors love that and will pay extra, others hate it, just a matter of taste.&nbsp; This type of toning is most common on S mint cents from the 1908-S Indian Cent up through the S mint Lincolns of the 1920s.&nbsp; But it&#039;s also seen on other cents and also on many 2 cent pieces.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That said, your coin does look to have some corrosion or some other surface damage.&nbsp; I think it has XF details though.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks for sharing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
