mlzeiler New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 12:44 am Hello friends! I am new to collecting and am needing some expert opinions about this 1995 D Penny. Is it steel or just tarnished? Thank you in advance for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

captainmandrake1 Pillar of the Community United States 538 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 03:21 am There are no steel 1995 cents. To me, it looks like someone was experimenting with this cent with chemicals. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Bedrock of the Community United States 10310 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 05:20 am to the CCF - toning/staining of some sort. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. Report this Post to the Staff
Spence Moderator United States 27209 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 05:50 am @mlz, first welcome to CCF. Second, you could confirm that this is just surface staining rather than an off metal strike by weighing this cent and confirming it is within mint specifications.

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 868 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 08:31 am It does look like someone managed to remove (most of) the copper plating, leaving the zinc core. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Bedrock of the Community United States 50196 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 08:48 am mlzeiler, You might want to get yourself a copy of the Red Book and read it for the info not the coin values.It will tell you about the minting process.

Dearborn Bedrock of the Community United States 18387 Posts	Posted 03/25/2023 1:51 pm to CCF and it does appear to be some sort of stain or weird experiment Collecting since 1972.
