Auzzman New Member United States 8 Posts	Posted 02/01/2018 12:37 am Hey guys. Been coin hunting all day on my day off and I pulled this 1934 penny that's in pretty nice condition but it it red. Never seen it before but I'm sure it's from a chemical. Any way I can clean it off without damaging the penny? Report this Post to the Staff

willieboyd2 Pillar of the Community United States 530 Posts	Posted 02/04/2018 9:34 pm I also have a "red cent". United States Cent 1934-D It had been painted red at one time. I had heard that in the 1920's and 1930's travelling circuses and carnivals would paint pennies red and put them into circulation as a form of advertising. Has anyone else heard this story? https://www.brianrxm.com The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin Coins in Movies Coins on Television Edited by willieboyd2 02/04/2018 9:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
