CFFW902 New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 01/24/2020 5:07 pm Hello-second post! Have researched, still new at coins, but can't find reason why these 4 pennies look different. Know it's elementary, but, briefly, pls, what makes "oldest" -extreme left- (1983) look BEST, two much olders,right, (1990 & 1990D,)look "OK ", "newest" -second, left -(1993), BLAH. Rough post mint for 1993? 1983, better metal combo?TY#128579; * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5268 Posts	Posted 01/24/2020 6:37 pm It is not strange for one cent coins to sit in jars for years and even decades. Then when they finally get dumped at a bank you can have fresh looking coins decades old. Report this Post to the Staff
