pyrbob Rest in Peace United States 1943 Posts	Posted 10/19/2014 10:57 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff
