1931-s Wheat Cent ~ needs help!

I call BS since I never met a coin that changed tone with warm water and a tooth brush. You all can bash me for so little experience here if you like.

Well....Have you ever dug coins in Oregon?... Cant make an assumtion if your answer is no

..Oh and Congrats....You have now Offically seen the first coin that looked "white-washed" from washing it with water.

MickeyMaquire,
Your definition refers to the word PRESTIDIGITATION, which is not the spelling I commented on: PRESTIGITION.
Don...

Sorry. The word means the same, but, it is French origin. I doubt that you will find many references online.

Then that explains it, as many of the French treat most folks from other countries, especially Americans with rudeness, contempt and sarcasm! Sorry but I had a bad experience when I visited Paris in 1973 while in the U.S. Army!

There seams to always be someone like this Prestigition Digger guy in these forums ~~ making rude assuming comments. Maybe the ground in New Jersey doesn't damage copper & nickel coins like it does in Oregon. Lucky you!

"Cars and firearms are like metal detectors...not for everyone." . . . wow, what a jerk

Just to give him the benefit of the doubt, his observation might not have been directed to you, but to the ground in which your coin was buried. I've had some luck in the past where crusty wheats looked a lot better after a tumble with walnut shells as the medium. You might want to try it first with something less rare but with similar damage to see if you like the effect.
