<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 934309, member: 26302"]Two things, copper that is still reddish is notoriously hard to photograph well, so I would look at it in hand first. Second, I have seen some wierd toning from sitting in those old penny boards over the years. A lot of them had paper ill used for coins, so even if it does look strange I would not be sure someone did it intentionally. I have an iridescent toned 31s that I would have sworn was artificial if I have not personally taken it out of a 1950's era penny board.</p><p> </p><p>EDIT: Look at the photos of the coin. See how the obverse is the colored side, and the reverse is uniform? This is indicative of it being put into a board and only the obverse being exposed. This is the first thing to look for if you think it might be "board toned" as opposed to artificially toned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
