Katisblondy New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 12:01 pm I have 2 1974 new pennies both are different colour. Can anyone tell me if they are rare or worth any thing? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Katisblondy New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 07/10/2019 12:21 pm thank you for the info Both these coins were stored in the same place in the same packaging I don't understand why they are different colours as you say due to environmental conditions. I can't remember what they looked like when I stored them. What I am understanding then is that a penny can change colour due to who and where it is handled. It did not originate that colour.
