[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3241155, member: 19165"]Rick Snow is extremely knowledgeable - but you have to remember that, as a dealer, he also has an agenda. I've been following this topic for a decade or so now. I remember when the first guy said that he'd been treating coins to make the blue copper. I remember when PCGS stopped certifying blue copper. I remember the debate about it, and I remember when PCGS recanted and started certifying it again. I remember the threads that Rick references, where collectors did some experiments. I remember some of them being quite convincing, and some of them leaving doubt. I, however, firmly believe that the look of the IHC posted in this thread is characteristic of MS-70 treatment.
