[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 458751, member: 8959"]I think i made a mistake buying this coin. It is one of a few i bought during my summer vacation in the US, and which i regretted almost as soon as i bought it. Be it as it may. My question for you guys concerns the color, condition, (and authenticity): This coin is actually green in color, ("emerald green with a sprinkling of dust"). Very much like copper or bronze coins which are retrieved from the ground. I have never seen one like it. All of my large cents are of various shades of brown. It does not appear to be porous or corroded, just the obverse surface appears finely grainy. Unfortunately the photo does not really bring out the true color. PS- I've had some difficulties attributing it definitely. What do you all think? Regards, Eduard[/QUOTE]
