merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/31/2021 9:20 pm Not sure it is "red" by numismatic terms. Looks to have an environmental build-up on it's surface. Not too desirable for a collection or as a good example of a 1969-D cent. It has seen better days. Report this Post to the Staff
