<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KurtS, post: 2269401, member: 11786&quot;]I just spotted this on ebay--it presents a textbook case of whizzing/retoning on a bronze coin. The clues are pretty strong on this one--the wire edge on the &quot;U&quot; and raised edges <i>everywhere </i>on the design and legends. An IHC is <b>never </b>struck this way. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie105" alt=":yuck:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> In fact, someone bore down so hard as to dig furrows into the portrait.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5773/22234033244_397436a04f_k.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The color is clearly indicative of chemical toning--a toned &quot;brown&quot; IHC is going to be a deeper brown with an absence of iridescent coloration. And there is no mint luster, because it&#039;s been completely stripped away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
