[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 1581257, member: 2972"]It's brown, tan, and red with a touch of green thrown in for good measure. lol Are you thinking recolored? I'm not. Because if it had been dipped/stripped/recolored, it wouldn't show the live corrosion (red and green), nor would it have the two tone look of lighter and darker brown. It would be much "flatter" colored with planchet roughness without red/green corrosion. Like this: [img]http://www.pbase.com/miker/image/53036709/original.jpg[/img] My 1816 is a very original-looking coin, IMO. The 1829, pictured immediately above, (and with all due respect, your 1816)....not so much. You are, of course, free to disagree. :) What do you think of the color on the 1816? How about your own example of this date?[/QUOTE]
