<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikjo0, post: 82824, member: 3565&quot;]I didn&#039;t think much about this coin until the recent discussion about the brass Indian cent and the different types of chemical alterations that can happen to coins.I had it in my album for a couple of years because it seems to be a decent grade except that it&#039;s almost jet black.It isn&#039;t normal toning or tarnish,looks almost like the black shiny nickel finish you might see on fancy guns.I was unable to show this in my photos.The darker flash pic shows it almost as it is in sunlight and I took one next to an UNC to show the contrast.Any ideas on how this was done?</p><p>signed,Curious in VA <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
