wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 3:00 pm Hy guys Look at the colour difference between the 1920 penny on the left with the 1934 penny on the right. I have a hard time knowing what a red penny even looks like. Can some one burst my bubble or make me happy... Report this Post to the Staff

Apollo Pillar of the Community Canada 1610 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 3:15 pm There are three colors of pennies, brown, red-brown and red. I think yours would be considered brown . Brown: Red-Brown: Red: Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 3:19 pm Thanks for the info and pictures 10xloupe. The pictures I posted are really not the true colour of the originals, but close, so it must be a brown then. Report this Post to the Staff

Smallcentguy Pillar of the Community Canada 1984 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 4:11 pm Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think the Canadian TPGs comment on the colour when the grade is below MS60. I don't recall seeing a coin called AU Red or AU Brown. Report this Post to the Staff
Ugly Pillar of the Community Canada 1733 Posts	Posted 12/31/2011 4:14 pm That's correct, the colour is only referred to in mint state. The only time it might matter is an AU gem type, so I can understand this. Report this Post to the Staff
