    to bad this cheap camera do not do my coin pics justice,, thoughts on this 20 cent piece
    from newfoundland 1894, other then the dirty look the braid and hair has great detail. over all great great detail 1859largecanadacent,nl20cent 008.jpg 1859largecanadacent,nl20cent 009.jpg 1959 canada large cent gone green,, but close up view everything looks good detail, only the cheap camera cant show anything, is there a place to clean it or identify the type

    The '94 20 cent: EF
    The '59 Large Cent: Copper turns green once left in the sun too long. There really are no ways to clean copper that turned green without damaging it. Take the Statue of Liberty for instance. They never cleaned it:

    the coin it self according to the books i may be wrong has a darker out side color too it, thats what i read on the coin when i was comparing variations, it states that the leafs on the head band run run into the darker shade when comparing varieties, its like it on all of these i do believe. but i may be wrong
