Wormey1903 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 03:39 am I see letters and symbols all over the back side and raised a little too. I just don't know what it is? Anybody? Orange color is odd to me also. Edited by Wormey1903 09/24/2023 03:41 am Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15566 Posts	Posted 09/24/2023 05:30 am to the CCF I see a normal circulated business strike Philadelphia mint cent, with some environmental toning to account for the color. Where are you seeing additional 'letters and symbols"? Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16873 Posts	Posted 09/26/2023 12:26 am The "orange color" (it looks more pink than orange to me) is very typical of an acid-cleaned bronze/copper coin. Though ammonia can make copper coins look orange, too. I suspect this is an environmentally damaged coin, it had some corrosion on it which someone used acid to remove before they spent/banked it. I'm certainly not seeing anything that would qualify as a "mint error". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
