[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2386315, member: 24314"]99.8% NO and not by any of us. But you knew I would disagree with you, right? :) .2% YES as I have watched it done using electrolysis on [COLOR=rgb(255, 0, 0)]one [COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]occasion by a jeweler/chemist (using 3 different chemical baths) who "restored" a red-brown Uncirculated Indian cent to Mint red after one unsuccessful attempt. The first time I told him the color was "off." Then he fixed it. :facepalm: [/COLOR][/COLOR] I could tell what one of the "baths" was by its "blue" color. Now, we ALL know that many coins slabbed as "red" are not truly original so perhaps the "coin doctors" have gotten better or the TPGS are getting lax.[/QUOTE]
