reupman Pillar of the Community United States 597 Posts	Posted 05/03/2013 5:33 pm not sure I understand the question but I might I hope this helps. a red cent is what copper collectors refer to a cent that has not been circulated so much that it turns brown its not a real red like a firetruck just a copper cent that is bu example a 1909 Lincoln Cent can be mint state but brown in color or some nice copper color remains then it is red brown if no brown at all is on it then it is ms-red Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/03/2013 7:19 pm Yeah, its just an uncirculated penny. They do go orange if you leave them a while but as far as I know, theres no common red colouring. Report this Post to the Staff

Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 05/04/2013 10:48 am DaytR - I see a lot of uncirculated 1996 1p and 2p coins around. Even when I'm in other parts of the country I see them. Perhaps the mint found a huge sack of them behind a box in the cellar? Report this Post to the Staff
