Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 02/07/2021 10:49 pm Be nice to have a picture of the reverse to see if it has the same coloring. That way would be easier to come up with a more defined reason. And yes, the cent in the picture does look as 196S but obviously did not come that way from the mint. Report this Post to the Staff
