<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 218009, member: 2972&quot;]There are a number of ways to lighten copper, most entailing a dip of some type (although whizzing also will make a coin red again).&nbsp; However, the color of the coin in-hand would usually be a dead giveaway.&nbsp; It is difficult, but not impossible, to make a copper coin red again without it being obvious to those familiar with the end result.&nbsp; Take a look at heritage auction archives and search large cents for &quot;recolored&quot; and/or &quot;cleaned&quot; and you&#039;ll see lots of examples.&nbsp; All IMHO, and I hope this helps...Mike[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
