<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3011566, member: 112&quot;]Those larger pics of the copper coin confirm what I thought I might be seeing in the first set - the coin has suffered some major corrosion. Mt first thought was it must have been a ground find. But I changed my mind on closer inspection and now think it was just toning and moisture that did the damage. In any even I think the coin was pristine when it was put away and maybe forgotten. Over time, this is what happened.</p><p><br /></p><p>That it has been cleaned, probably with chemicals, is beyond doubt in my opinion, but I do think they did pretty good job of it. The somewhat glossy look that it has in places, I think that is also due to chemicals, maybe even Coin Care or Blue Ribbon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
