Cyndi New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 2:22 pm It's not paint. I have had this stored for a long while. Was not initially this color. I just pulled it and happen to have noticed the strange color it has. I don't know what in the heck this is. I actually Pune this post while trying to research why this coin looks like this Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 05/31/2024 3:18 pm @cyn, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like there is residue of some sort, perhaps plating on the surface of this cent. Whatever it is, it wasn't on this coin when it left the mint.
