Message:: [QUOTE="coppermania, post: 1314231, member: 18304"]I get what you are saying here bully. With regards to the recoloring, I don't know how it is being done, just what it is to look for if you are gonna play the crackout game. In the book "Coin Chemestry" a must read, there is a chapter called an interview with a coin doctor. It is a tell all that will make a guy ill for an hour. It has been sometime since I read it but I remember him saying "when the market likes red coins we give'em red and when they like toned dollars, we give it to 'em, and when the market wants blast white", and so on.        Unlike toned silver that can tone and brought back to white, copper is a one way street from red to brown and can not usually be reversed without some sort of tell. It sounds like you know what the pumpkin orange of a recolored cent looks like, it is just that you are paying tuition on some lower cost cents, that is good. I thought the 1928 looked to good to be true, and I saw just a hint of the wrong orange sitting along some of the protected areas, probably where some sort of liquid pooled a little to long. That is all the TPGs are looking for. Keep that coin close as a reference, I do the same with some and it helps when I have to make a call on a better date.    Matt[/QUOTE]
