Lukest New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 05/14/2014 7:00 pm Im not anywhere near a genius at coins. I'm sure this is actually a really stupid question. However I purchased this coin in a lot of them, and while looking it up, none of the results I found were this copper color. Its almost as if its a penny. Does anyone have an explanation for it?

You coin is likely a corroded coin dug up as a ground find ... the soil reacts with the Cu/Ni alloy and often leaves behind the color and surface pitting that you coin exhibits.

It's GREAT to be curious when you're new to the hobby. Also, to our amazing forum. You have just unleashed a treasure chest of coin knowledge to be used. But yes, it is corroded.
