Luvdattcoin Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 03:54 am Doesn't look like any brown I've had ever. Report this Post to the Staff

Luvdattcoin Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 04:34 am Are the 1969 S Business strikes have any value? Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21586 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 07:13 am In that condition, it would be worth the value of the copper. Probably about Two Cents. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 08/16/2021 07:34 am Exposure to an environmental agent (or two). I've searched through endless mountains of Lincoln cents over the years. While the maroon look isn't wildly plentiful, they are out there--particularly full copper cents.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94867 Posts	Posted 08/18/2021 8:48 pm Could it have been painted brown (or what ever color that is) and is being worn off the high points to reveal the true color that lies beneath?
