Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 02/03/2018 9:56 pm Sorry @poin, but from your pic I can't see enough of what you are describing. While these coins come off the presses red, in general, the copper quickly tones to a brown color. They can be chemically treated to strip off the toning, which might be what happened to your coin. That is my best guess for what has happened to your coin.
