    others with more knowledge of Copper will probably be more helpful, but it was probably dipped and re-toned somehow, the rejection a result of the uneven color.

    Possibly lemon-juiced. The uneven toning probably doomed it.

    You can sell them. I get one here and there some buyers just want a nice coin at a good price not a MS65+++ Gem and that works for all of us. Cool coin that they are not making any more. :)

    Quest. is short for "questionable." What it means is that the PCGS grades think that the red color on this cent had been created probably by a dip in weak acid to remove the upper layer of toned copper.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.
