barb6702 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 01/23/2020 12:19 am This is a 1963 penny, no mint mark. There's something different about it. The color is super strange. It is so shiny and new looking, and totally a different color from any other penny. It looks new, but that's not possible considering it's 57 years old. Can anyone help me figure it out? Also, the "In God we Trust" at the top seems to be in the wrong place.Any information would be appreciat ed. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by barb6702 01/23/2020 02:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

Also the IN GOD WE TRUST is normal for a 1963, you can't compare different year coins to one another as different dies were used. Report this Post to the Staff
