Have you got a shot of the obverse? Its almost impossible to grade from one side. doesn't look Red/Brown to me though.

I haven't actually got a picture of the coin on my computer.
I only have that scanned image which I decreased the quality to make it internet friendly. Its probably why the colours don't look right.

WOW that is an amazingly toned penny although I think the weird colors may in fact be an indicator of artificial toning or an old cleaning? Frankly I have said this because in my ten years in the hobby (only 17 at the moment) I have never seen a copper coin with toning like that

The rainbow is a reflection on the coin's holder, you can see it extends beyond the edge of the coin.

Photos of the obverse would really help (preferably out of the holder) in determing a rough value for the coin. I would grade the reverse at aUNC/UNC for the record.

Sorry guys
I will try get some photos this week. I dont currently have the coin with me.
I think the above photo was taken with the coin in its plastic sleeve. I have just scanned a printed image of it so it isn't the best quality.

From the photos I'd say it's at least UNC but could be better.Would need
better photos to judge properly

Nice coin, very nice coin. Why not get a pair of cotton gloves, take it out of the holder, photograph in the nude, rude  , then put in a saflip? |

My 2012 McDonald says a Chunc 1912H penny is worth $18k  but that would be a misprint  it says an Unc is worth $875  |

Thankyou for your input guys! Really appreciate it. I have since found an authenticity certificate. Does this mean much?  |

I've got one of those! Not sure what it means, I assume the 63RB at the end of the ref# refers to the grade, however you will be provided with an honest assessment here.

That certificate means nothing now, the company has gone into liquidation.
Looks like an MS63BN, maybe a 64BN.
