It's hard to tell with the lighting. What does the rim look like? Could be lamination error? Copper is supposed to be on the indside but maybe the planchet was defective or thin. Could also be plated, or depending on what the color looks like in different light maybe just really really dirty?

Huh?

gino. I would never assume to speak for John. However, the coin appears to have spent time buried. The tone is created by environmental damage. It is clearly not a mint error.

BTW, to the CCF!

I see nothing wrong with any of the comments here. You posted a question which you have gotten an honest answer. The only person that is being rude is you. The people on this forum are always willing to help and pass on their knowledge to less experience collectors. Keep your comment civil.

What?! It looks like its been in the ground. That is all. As a detectorist it is easy to tell what this is. If you can not deal with honest opinions like you asked for, this forum is not the place for you. This forum is filled with knowledgeable people who are very kind. Please don't be the exception.

I found one this summer that looked a lot like it. It was on the edge of our gravel driveway in a wet area. I got the impression it had been there quite some time. This is on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan, which all you Cent Stackers will know as Copper Country. Lots of iron in the soil as well. In short environmental influence.

If you want "constructive criticisms" I'll give you "constructive criticisms".

Your coin is worth 10 cents.
