JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 1:06 pm Please shoot photos head on, seeing them on an angle distorts the images. Your cent looks normal. Copper can change many colours once it has been exposed to the environment so colour change is normal. It can't change colour during the striking of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinForMe Pillar of the Community United States 2173 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 1:19 pm The truth of the matter here is that this coin has been "Harshly Cleaned (EF-40)" with over 3.5 billion minted, worth maybe 2 cents... Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 96451 Posts	Posted 06/20/2025 7:56 pm Looks normal to me . However for initial images, it is generally accepted that the images be taken from directly above, not from an angle. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.
