mghrlh New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 09/05/2022 7:21 pm any reason that this penny would be colored like this- I know it is old but it also has a weird feeling to it, it is extremely smooth, you cannot feel any if the words or the face of the penny. just wondering what you all think of this. thanks.
