Definitely not a fake. That yellowish color is just caused by toning.
Errers and Varietys.

 Well within the range of normal toning for this issue. Seems to be a nice uncirculated coin with typical oxidation spotting that restricts the value. Edited by Coinfrog

yeah, probably some enviromental changing of the color - if not, then other way is: copper Lincoln Cent plantchets were stamped from a roll of copper alloy that had 95% copper, 5% tin and zinc. Sometimes the mixes were a bit off causing the color of the cents being different shades of copper. Too much zinc or tin caused the metal too more of a brass color And there are so many posts on here about - My coin is too heavy, or my coin is to light. Best thing to do is put away your scale unless you are trying to determine if your rare coin is real. Edited by Mark1959

If the weight is 3.9 it might be struck on a thick planchet. I would re-weigh to be sure.

Calm down Grape - a FEW coins in the world and you want one to show up here? Somehow, IF someone has one of these they would not sit calmly by and ask questions from a forum

Most likely a slightly overweight planchet. Color is caused by toning.

There was actually someone on here that found a truly rare quarter and , to put it politely, he was crapping his pants - and when it was verified he shared the pictures - I don't see this happening here. Experience is such a great tool - |
