[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2395489, member: 24314"]To my knowledge, not on purpose. The mint is a factory and I suppose if you analyzed their surface you would find impurities like traces of oil. Easy answer: To make a coin Mint Red again, it must have mint luster! Your coin does not. In summary: It is easier to turn most any copper coin in any condition - even with ACTIVE GREEN CORROSION LUMPS AND PITS - an acceptable brown color. Some faster and easier than the others with corroded black surfaces. It is "magic" to turn brown, red brown, and spotted red copper coins to RED. It is being done. I do not know how much or to what degree. There is LOTS of money to be made so IT IS being done. If a very young, relatively new in business, small time coin dealer with only a high school education can do it in a bathroom after a few lessons to stir his curiosity and propose possible paths to experiment can succeed ... All you need is a coin with original luster and knowledge. :cigar:[/QUOTE]
