Wrekkdd Pillar of the Community Canada 3328 Posts	Posted 06/19/2022 10:52 am very heavy damage in that cent, why would you think a famous artist that died over 100 years before that cent was even minted some how was a piece of art he did? He died in 1890. Report this Post to the Staff

As for the colour, Dearborn called it. The cents from 1982-date are copper plated zinc, that is the softer silver like metal you are seeing. Report this Post to the Staff
