<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1576359, member: 26302&quot;]I agree with Doug to a point. I DO believe some cents survived red. Coins like the 31s above, and many other wheats, can survive red. The issue is where you store them. If you store them in rolls of other cents, any atmospheric toning will only affect some of the coins. I have taken apart rolls, where they were selling for little money, (wheats from the 30&#039;s), and most of the coins were still full red. The end ones were brown. There is no reason in the world for anyone to dip these coins, so I have to assume this was natural.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, red can survive if the coin was stored with other cents in a group. Once a collector separates them, then I don&#039;t think copper can survive without toning unless you had extraordinary technology like today to stop it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion. Btw Doug, yes I agree that copper can be successfully dipped. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
