1962 D Cent Penny - Gold Tone?

I have this unusual Penny I've been holding on to. It looks as if it was gold plated or something... I also noticed the back has 2 different die marks. Has anyone seen this before? (The last pic shows differnece in color - I think)

Looks like glue on the reverse.

 

glue???? it's definately stamped, possibly before the monument the "ONE CENT" looks like it was stamped after whatever was stamped first

 

Can you take a closer picture of the back? Hard to see in the picture you have posted.

 

My camera sucks, I changed 3 pics. It looks like blowing wind illustration?

 

Sometimes glue has a metallic look. On the reverse at 7:00 you can see some glue hanging over the edge. Try scraping it or any on the back off. I am positive it will come off. Or soak it, not sure what to use. Acetone is harmless to a coin.

 

by the way... it weighs 3.2 grams, the copper penny weighs 3.11 grams, correct?

 

it's not glue, dude.... that's the reflection from the sun/camera. nothing is dripping. it is stamped into the coin

 

Ok ok, nice coin. I'd list it on eBay!

 

OK I guess you're right then. Ka-ching! You've struck gold!

 

Dip it in acetone, if it's still there, you've got something special.

For some evening reading....
