<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coppermania, post: 903541, member: 18304&quot;]I focus on copper with the blue blush you guys are speaking of. Some have a weird look to them that is a turn off and some have jaw dropping wicked eye apeal that screams unintentional toning. When selecting a Lincoln with color I look for a solid brown coin with what I term &quot;original skin&quot; and then blue that &quot;turns on and off&quot; when tilted. If the blue stays &quot;on&quot; at all angles or covers mint lustre, it is questionable to me. I also check to see it any red that remains is a classic red color and not the pumkin orange of recolored red. Sure there are individuals that can reproduce this effect, but it also happens unintentionally all the time. We have all seen these coins come out of albums that we know the history of, it is easy to start second guessing coins sprinkled down the show aisles.&nbsp; And yes, I have great results certifying these coins raw all the time. If interested in my set please view my registry at <a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=99846" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=99846" rel="nofollow">http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.aspx?PeopleSetID=99846</a>. I recommend sticking with people like Charmy and Tom at Numiscent who see these coins all the time and have a feel for what is valuable. JMO Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
