<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 161763, member: 5233&quot;]I have always loved Indian Head Cents, and I have found one on eBay that I have a question about (I was just virtual &quot;window shopping&quot;).&nbsp; There is a high grade 1898 that is bright red as if it is a new cent, not the red you typically see on coins of this age but that &quot;brand new&quot; copper &quot;orangish&quot; color that 2006 cents have.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, is it possible for a copper coin to be over 100 years old and still maintin this color without having its surfaces altered or is it highly likely that the coin has been dipped or something?&nbsp; Bare in mind, this coin is not slabbed.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the link, its quite a beautiful coin but it just doesn&#039;t seem right:</p><p><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1898-Indian-Head-Cent-MS67-Full-Red_W0QQitemZ270040414529QQihZ017QQcategoryZ41086QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/1898-Indian-Head-Cent-MS67-Full-Red_W0QQitemZ270040414529QQihZ017QQcategoryZ41086QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/1898-Indian-Head-Cent-MS67-Full-Red_W0QQitemZ270040414529QQihZ017QQcategoryZ41086QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
