Was sorting/rolling some loose coins and found this 1977 D penny that is unusual in color. Looks very new bronze/dark chocolate brown unlike the pre-82s that are lighter and it's uniformly colored not splotchy. Also has the blue rainbow effect across the top on the obverse side. Also seems to have a stronger strike, especially on the reverse, unless it's the color playing tricks on my eyes. Any ideas if this is from environmental damage? Thanks for any help Report this Post to the Staff

Second, yes I agree that environmental exposure most likely has caused the different coloration on what otherwise are similar cents.
