Are these damage or errors ?? The 1881 color seems different around her eye and by the eagle. Also the rim of the coin. The 1929 penny seems oddly colored also missing a piece on the rim. The 1944 seems to be the same coloring as the 1929 but everything looks wavy. The right side on the back going through the “T” into the feather. It seems to have changed Lincoln’s nose as well on the side of the coin. Any thoughts what these are? I’m sorry if my pictures are terrible
Thank you!! I have a bunch of those wheat pennies. The color of those 2 seemed different than the rest.
Copper is a reactive metal. The colors that you see are due to a reaction with something in the environment and is commonly referred to as Environmental Damage. While there are a few specific errors that can show a different color, the vast majority of circulated "colorful" cents you'll see will be due to environmental damage.
All damaged. The cents have probably spent a bit of time in or on the ground causing the corrosion that changed the color
Welcome to CT. I believe you are using an auto-focus camera and need to pull back a bit to prevent blurry photos and then crop them if necessary. As already stated, all of your coins are PMD, post mint damage. Keep checking and reading the posts here to increase your knowledge.
Those are what I would call dogs or "spenders." Not the silver dollar, of course, which is just cleaned and ugly and is worth what junk silver dollars are currently worth.
