<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2532875, member: 19165&quot;]I&#039;m not really sure how old you think this coin is, but it was minted in 1288AH (not AD!). That is about 1871AD. The coin was clearly saved early in its life (hence the lack of wear). It is entirely plausible that a coin which was carefully preserved for the past 145 years could show red. There are many, many copper coins of the late 19th century with tons of red on them.... that there are glimpses of red on this is not unrealistic (although rarely seen, since these weren&#039;t saved much).</p><p><br /></p><p>And you go ahead and pass all the high grade Moroccan coins you see on to me. I&#039;ll take them. Do you own any of these, or have you handled any of these before?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
