<p>[QUOTE=&quot;susanlynn9, post: 19773, member: 1258&quot;]We are selling a lot of Indian Head cents for a client and many of them, although the details have worn to VG or G have a lot of red in their surface. To me, that indicates that they have been cleaned. My question: Is it possible for a copper coin to retain any of its original luster while still having circulated details. There aren&#039;t blatant signs of cleaning (hairlines, etc.) which is why I&#039;m asking. I think they also may have been cleaned a very long time ago and then sealed in their holders which may have retarded natural toning. Any opinion would be welcome. Of course, my client did not admit to cleaning any of them and I&#039;m pretty sure that most of these have been in his collection since he was very young.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
