To the CCF Exactly what is it we are supposed to be looking for. All I can see is a regular 1964 CENT with possible environmental toning.
If you wait, all that happens is you get older.

It isn't the color - I guess it is the precision, the color is cool though.

Color is due to some sort of chemical or environmental exposure. to the CCF! |

to the coin wonderland! 1964's were made with very worn working hub dies. The details had stretched towards the outer rim in a process known as "Metal Flow" This had a distortion to the lettering, at times they touched the rim and disappeared. The reverse appears to be slightly offset, this may just be a Misaligned die (MAD) or even a "broadstruck" coin where the collar on the die press didn't fully deplot and surround the coin when struck. We'd have to see the rim of the coin to tell.

I can take a better pic tomorrow  I was just wondering why the one looks old, but I guess ahead of times too. |
