@haz, first welcome to CCF. Second, that cent does have a nice color to it. It could be from plating or even toning due to environmental/chemical exposure rather than an effect of the minting though.

Might be good to post pics with the coin above, along side of a 'regular looking' coin for comparison.

Discussed a similar one here recently http://goccf.com/t/438165Coppercoins:Some of the yellow cents are a result of zinc planchets melting in the copper bath creating brass, which is yellow in color. Subsequent planchets bathed in this mixture came out of the mint yellow. Other reasons could be a whole host of possible environmental conditions. Usually little or no premium is seen for the mint-created yellow cents, and of course no premium for the environmentally changed example (as in this cent). So this appears to not be any of the aftermarket plated we see here and there but an environmentally changed example, nice looking. Typically no premium for the color although some collectors pay what they want for things they like for their personal collections and why therefore sometimes they will sell anyway.

Quote:have bid on the one above on ebay so at very least will get 5 bucks for it. As with most hobbies, there are people just starting out, people who have been at the hobby for decades, and everything in between. And, correspondingly, there are different kinds of coins that are sought by the different levels of experience, as well as some people have all kinds of things they may like to collect that others may not and some love toners,, some dont. So in the end, some items do not necessarily have any added value traditionally, but that doesn't mean that in certain cases something will sell to the right collector or on an impulse buy especially when under $20. Whether its worthwhile if they spent time listing it, managing the auction or listing, and mailing it out to the buyer for likely a minor premium again depends on the individual. I have mentioned how even a poor mans doubled die from 1955 started selling at a premium even though it shouldnt, because of the high cost for the real 1955 doubled die and to fill a hole in an album.
