<p>[QUOTE="Mark Feld, post: 315802, member: 11467"]If the images are accurate (which is almost always a very big IF) I am of the opinion that the color on that coin is NOT natural/original. It has the wrong look/hue for an original "red" example of that era. Not that I don't expect normal color variances, even for the same date, but here is a PCGS MS65RD for comparison: <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1920-Lincoln-Cent-MS65-RD-PCGS_W0QQitemZ160192689111QQihZ006QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1920-Lincoln-Cent-MS65-RD-PCGS_W0QQitemZ160192689111QQihZ006QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1920-Lincoln-Cent-MS65-RD-PCGS_W0QQitemZ160192689111QQihZ006QQcategoryZ39456QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p> </p><p>Edited to add: Buying uncertified copper coins is a minefield in which you are often fighting long odds, and is therefore not recommended.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
