Hey, y'all. Found this off-colored penny in a roll. Is it environmental damage that made it this color?
Thanks for looking!

Or maybe plated at one point?

All new cents leave the mint a shiny copper colour.
Any change to the colour after that is some sort of damage,
be it environmental or otherwise.

As JimmyD said, colour of these cents vary depending on newness and/or environmental exposure.. Reverse is just post mint damage ( PMD).
