<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2707600, member: 77639"]I've always assumed that all copper will windup brown eventually unless it's coated to prevent reaction with gases. Apparently, it can take many decades in some cases as there are red coins from the 19th century. I don't know of a way to convert brown back to red in a undetectable manner, but maybe it's possible. I generally go for RB, but have a few BN's and one RD.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
