freshjiive Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Hi there., I Found this penny in my change and find it very odd. The colouring of it is the exact same as a loony I've taken a pic of it beside a loony, an older penny and a new 2011 penny Anyone know what's up with it?

ccg Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 A common high school experiment involves making "pennies" "gold" and/or "silver" in color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoinCzar Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Yes, your penny appears to be brass colored. I think that CCG is right and that it was an experiment done on the coin or to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
