Debron341 New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 8:32 pm Hi. I have found a 1953 penny that is an odd color. From what I can tell under magnification, the penny does not appear to be painted. Has anyone ever seen this coloring before? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 11229 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 8:38 pm Yes I've seen this--many, many times while going through bags of wheat cents. Some cents pick up a brick-red tone, the result of exposure to an environmental agent. I've come across a few hundred of these over the years. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 17955 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 8:42 pm Copper can turn to many colours, depending on what it has been exposed to. Nothing unusual. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 15531 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 11:49 pm yep, I agree, just a normal coin. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

JTCC Pillar of the Community United States 755 Posts	Posted 08/02/2022 11:50 pm I agree, a normal Wheat cent that is environmentally damaged. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 49335 Posts	Posted 08/03/2022 05:14 am That is not considered a Red coin in the coin hobby. John1 ( I'm no pro, it's just my humble opinion ) Searched 6.5 +/- Million Cents Since 1971 Report this Post to the Staff
Cujohn Pillar of the Community United States 2976 Posts	Posted 08/03/2022 5:29 pm to the CCF and If you look through enough wheats you will find a lot of these. As John says don't mistake this as a red coin. Report this Post to the Staff
