MajorPatW Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 11:22 am Today's coin review. So I've got a 1968 Lincoln Cent that seems to be an odd color so I've kept it for a long long time. Photos attached. no mint mark, so I'm guessing it's from Phily. Fantastic condition, just an odd color. Thoughts? I'm just using my phone for these pictures and not sure it presents the best photo, but hopefully you can get a good image. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 07/03/2023 12:26 pm normal color for copper, but, yes, it does appear to have been polished - which will help to give it a bronze color too.
