<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2773901, member: 1765&quot;]For the record, that&#039;s not me.&nbsp; I do agree, however, that both the 1928 Lincoln and the 1901 Indian cent have been cleaned and have retoned.&nbsp; The Indian cent cleaning seems more egregious than that of the Lincoln, and it was probably polished rather than chemically cleaned.&nbsp; This will leave a shiny copper surface where it was able to be polished, and more of the original dark brown color in the crevices of the design and around the letters, where the polishing was ineffective.&nbsp; Souvenir Indian cent jewelry typically looks like this.&nbsp; The shiny bits will then acquire some sort of color from its environment -- usually brown, but sometimes more colorful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
