*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***I know this is not RB or B. I see more of a violet color more than anything. I've checked online but really not finding what exactly to label this one. So I figured I'd share for some expert advice or a lot of individuals who have been doing this way longer than I lol.

As soon as I post I think it found it a "rare toned violet"

This would generally be considered "brown" assuming the toning is natural. "Red" refers to the original color of the coin after being minted, not the color red in general.

It's a brown cent with violet colored toning. Not sure if the toning is natural.
Please include the coin denomination in your message title. The Denver mint struck cents, nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars in 1959. You have us guessing which you refer to until we open the thread.

Copper can take on almost any color of the rainbow under different environmental conditions.

Agree about the "Brown" color designation with such toning on cents. To me it also looks like artificial toning on this coin. But...  |

That's called toning. It's pretty nice. Not rare though. Worth face value.
Errers and Varietys.

The grading companies have wisely decided on BN for coins that don't qualify for RD or RB. Otherwise, can you imagine PL for purple, or GR for green, or...?
