Slade New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 12/23/2012 02:22 am I read on a couple different pics of other pennies showing them as a BU proof I believe def not for sure. Just thought this was cool don't even know if its real but it's really worn, not overly damaged just worn. Do they produce purple pennies for every year? Report this Post to the Staff

They do not. A purple cent is because of toning,sometime natural and sometimes unnatural. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Slade New Member United States 43 Posts	Posted 12/23/2012 09:24 am Oh I see.. Thank you. The only thing I found when I tried to search purple penny was a 1909 that had the same coloration as mine but other then that I couldn't find any other info about it anywhere that I had looked.. Thank you for the response I didn't think much about it in terms of value. I just thought it was cool looking thanks again John1 Report this Post to the Staff

sab3927 Valued Member United States 163 Posts	Posted 12/26/2012 4:57 pm I sometimes find pennies stained dark brown, black, or raspberry. I wonder if ink would stain penny purple? Report this Post to the Staff
