uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 09:07 am I had these coin for many years , I found it searching new rolls I don't remember if they were from the bank or I purchased them directly from the mint ( I used to do that) the weight is 2.5 gr same as the 1960 so it isn't missing the platting , it does stands out of other pennies .

Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 10:41 am @uru, this 1994 Cent looks pretty normal to me. Any odd surface coloration might be due to chemical or environmental exposure. Around the letters in the word STATES, it seems like there might be some split plate doubling.

uruman Pillar of the Community United States 5193 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 10:55 am Spence , I agree with you that it looks pretty normal , I can't reproduce the color I see on it with pictures , but I've never seen one that's looking like it missing the copper finish , the weight says that it's normal except for the color Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94930 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 11:07 am I don't think comparing a full copper cent with a copper plated one is a great comparison. the color of the '94 looks normal to many of the zinc cents I have in my collection.

CoinHI Pillar of the Community United States 2731 Posts	Posted 12/12/2025 12:55 pm I have come across some oddly colored zincolns before so I don't think the 94 is too unusual. Quote: the weight is 2.5 gr same as the 1960 The 60D doesn't look underweight so this must be a typo? "Pride is yoked with callous behavior, as humility is with compassion."
