Hey Guys,

Coin on the top, it seems that this 1981 it diferrent.

First thought it's experimental coin but look at the composition it seems quite bizarre.

Weight? It looks kinda pink which makes me think it was harshly cleaned.

John1,

Might be just an unfaltering natural tone.Need a weight though.Don't think it's an error at this point.

Copper will tarnish very easily so color is not a very good indicator of an error. As John said your coin looks like a normal coin that just experienced some type of exposure to something that caused it to turn color. It could have been cleaned at some point or it could have been accidentally exposed to something. But unfortunately it is damage and not an error.
