<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 614129, member: 16948&quot;]I&#039;m sorry folks, but I humbly and strongly disagree about this coin having been cleaned - this coin looks completely original to me.&nbsp; It does have the typical woodgrain toning on the reverse that is common with many 1909-S Indian cents.&nbsp; Perhaps what you are seeing is the shineyness from the oils.&nbsp; The brown tone I see from the photos looks like original toning to me.&nbsp; And the removal of grime that Boss has done, to me, has improved the quality of the coin.&nbsp; The lighter toning around the feathertips we see in the &quot;after&quot; photos is most likely due to the grime that covered those areas prevented the natural brown toning like the rest of the coin, and now that the grime is removed, we see a lighter shade in those areas which over time will also tone to brown like the rest of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
