CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 10/28/2023 8:13 pm This certainly has some crazy cool eye appeal and I'm happy to add this one to the collection. It weighs 4.82g so maybe some of the top layer flaked off as it became to brittle. The coin is still showing some luster so I think it could go MS62 but I'm curious what others think. I included some photos from a 2004 5c PCGS slab showing a similar error pattern. https://www.error-ref.com/?s=improper+annealing "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 10/28/2023 10:28 pm Thanks ya'll! This was a recent purchase. I believe it is uncirculated.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 08:46 am Are you going to submit it? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 10:00 am Thanks again!! Rubenstein- Annealing errors are unique to clad or nickel coinage so your cent probably has something else going on. Coinfrog- I was thinking this might be worth a submission, we'll see.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 10/29/2023 11:49 am If you turn it in for grading, please come back with a solution. I still have an issue as to why it appears gold instead of copper like the graded example one you posted. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 11:06 am Dearborn, here is another example. Again, from 2004, with a little less orange.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 10/30/2023 4:03 pm @ CoinHi, I get it when the coin look orange (Copper) that is due toto the improper annealing process that let the copper migrate to the surface. I just don't understand why yours is Gold in color and not coppery. Unless it is just the image not showing the copper color properly. Collecting since 1972.
