<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SorenCoins, post: 4574595, member: 73708&quot;]As [USER=33176]@Kentucky[/USER] said, cents can take on a whole variety of different colorations based on the environment they were stored in. In-part, that is one of the most fascinating things when collecting cents.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree. My initial reaction aside from plating was old cleaning. The coin looks as though it was cleaned a while ago, since it has had time to re-oxidize and tarnish that signature brown coloration. I likewise used to clean wheat cents when I found them in circulation, so seeing coins with old cleaning remind me of that wonderful time of curiosity, which is evidently shared by many other collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
