HumblePie Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 12:58 pm I found this Cent while roll searching. I found the color to be interesting and was wondering if anyone had an opinion about it. The Obverse and Reverse have an even deep red tone, while the rim of the Coin still has the copper color. Thanks for any input! I read an old post on here about "homeless coins". Coins that get lost outdoors, buried, get stained. Then found and put back in circulation. I'm guessing it could be one of those. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 54600 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 1:48 pm That's a good guess. Environmental staining of some sort. Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Pillar of the Community United States 2894 Posts	Posted 02/22/2021 2:45 pm Agree, exposure to an environmental agent. Not wildly uncommon. Report this Post to the Staff

Throw a few in your cupholder in your car and see how they turn after getting spilled with coffee and/or sodas for awhile. Report this Post to the Staff

Diy89Nurm7 Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 02/24/2021 11:06 am It's interesting from the photos how even the toning is on both sides and without a point that looks like the main contact point to an external agent. For those who know more about this, I wonder if this even toning is more likely to occur in a coin that has been in a wrapper for a long time? Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
