Bill Kerr Valued Member United States 421 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 5:40 pm Guys I believe this is a penny that has possibly been resurfaced. It depends on the camera with a flash or not, possibly shows copper finish. It definitely not steel and I don't believe it is aluminum. I can use your expertise, thanks.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95432 Posts	Posted 10/13/2022 6:36 pm With no loss of weight, and a tinge of copper showing, I would go and say that this coin has spent a long time outside in the weather getting bleached by the sun.
