    This coin has some odd copperish coloring in coin. Is this a mistake in the plantchet or some other form of coloration?

    Welcome to the forum. Someone has just tampered with your coin, they put paint, nail polish, or something on it.

    Looks more like a purplish color

    I also say colored by someone after it left Mint

    Might have been used in a "nickelodeon" way back when. Proprietors would paint their store coins and occasionally give them to customers to use in the jukebox. When they removed the change they could sort out what they gave free and the rest would be tallied and shared with the firm that owned the jukebox. You can see that this color was applied a long time ago.

    Folks tend to forget that pocket change was often used in the days before modern marketing. PT Barnum would paint cents red and pass them out in communities before the arrival of his circus. If you received a red cent in your change, you knew the circus was coming to town!

    I’m sorry. You take issue with my post? I can’t say where I read that tidbit but assure you I didn’t dream it up.

    With your post? No, not likely. With intentional blindness that CT has nearly certainly become a trollfest, particularly among supposedly female error section posters? Yes. (Two subjects not related.)

    No. But your manuscript is safe.
