pogitoitz New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 11/21/2019 6:31 pm Thank you very much, another curious question does copper turns white-ish when they get environmental damage? it's the heaviest penny I have seen so far it weighs 3.18 to 3.20 grams. Just curious and I am very thankful for I learned something new. Report this Post to the Staff

All environmental damage is different, so it's difficult to link a particular colour to it. The good news it's still worth 1 cent! and to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
