It&#039;s a fact that this coin had been in contact with oils and dirt and grime for decades... yet somehow the oxidation process was halted?</p><p><br /></p><p>Insider, there is no luster. Perhaps that will make more sense to everyone. Sure, copper can oxidize to a more subdued reddish hue. But if the coin is so worn that the luster is worn off, well then I can see no circumstance, when combined with hundreds of years, where this color can be retained. Thus, to me, the logical answer is that it is unnatural.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
