Izzylizzy Valued Member United States 155 Posts	Posted 06/18/2023 8:46 pm Why is there some pennys that the surface of them is black like I have a 1925 Wheat penny that's black as well as a 1975 penny that's also black. Is this anything special or...? * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title. It's very important to have in the title. * Edited by Izzylizzy 06/18/2023 9:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97314 Posts	Posted 06/18/2023 9:07 pm Copper will tone out to many different colors. from red to brown to dark brown, to green even - under certain environments.

Cointree Valued Member United States 449 Posts	Posted 06/18/2023 9:17 pm Probably over-exposure to the elements like heat, water, soil, etc. All of that can turn copper black over time. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 06/18/2023 9:25 pm Thx for adding pictures. The dark discoloration could be from environmental or chemical exposure as mentioned above.

oddguy Pillar of the Community United States 4135 Posts	Posted 06/18/2023 10:52 pm It is wear on rim that will flatten it. Just like the letters,date and other items on the coin. That is one of the main ways of determining the condition of coins. Report this Post to the Staff
