Slymer Valued Member United States 120 Posts	Posted 08/04/2016 6:57 pm Hey y'all! I found these two 1944 s cents on a routine walk laying on the ground on two different occasions. Basically I need help with the different color of scratch marks found on the cents. If the photos are blurry then I apologize...so I'd better describe. The first few photos show a clear as day silver or steel metal markings whilst the other cent shows a brown copper markings...could someone please explain why this is? Because to me, these cents don't make any sense...thank you-Slymer Report this Post to the Staff

(probably due to the lighter weight of aluminum) Not something you would miss. Report this Post to the Staff
