going threw my roll of 1959d pennies i have found one that is a lot different then all the others. the penny in question has a purple color to it but only on lincoiln and no where else also the penny is some what darker then the others. also how red does a penny have to be to get the rd part ofthe grade they all look red to me in this roll not sure how red they need to be.
Without a pic, we can't really help ya much Quite possibly just some gnarly toning, but again, need pictures.
its going to be awile for pics waiting for my big monitor to come back from repair all my post are coming from phone
Okay, I'm not saying this to be rude, but maybe you should stop posting asking about coins you have in hand, about their value or what is wrong with them or this, that, or the other until you can give the rest of us a better way to help you. Having the members speculate on something you see that we can't won't help in anyway. Like I said, not being rude, just being up front and honest because there isn't much if anything we can do to for you in these regards without being able to see the coins.
well you shouldnt need the picture of a penny to tell me why it might be purple and you dont need a picture of the 1 oz dolphine when i gave a stock one and i forgot what else i asked that needed a picture
Without pics all you're going to get are generic answers of it might be this or it might be that , does your phone take pics ?
I agree that to start a thread without a photo is a waste of your time and ours. I'm sure you know at least one person who has a pnhone or camers that can snap a pic of your coin. So... do it, and post it.
9 out of 10 times, it's nothing more than toning. And you don't need a picture to say that. The criteria for a coin to get the Red designation is pretty straightforward - the coin has to be 95% (or more) original mint red. And for the record, the color designation is not part of the grade and has nothing to do with the grade.
Well, to me. it sounds as if you've happened across a cent that has been cleaned or perhaps conserved with MS70 cleaner. This substance can affect the color of a copper cent as was the cent in the photos. Hoeever, the colors "typically" appear on cents with a certain level or brown. Of course, this is my opinion which others more than likely will disagree with.
I don't get what your looking at.. right now.. but will try to clarify , this brown cent which obviously your holing with your grubby hands has as the effect to have a brownish purple hue to it...and a clef going through the ear...
ha ha conserved with ms 70 cleaner>?>????? edited ms70 shoot if it was guaranteed id get a truck full..lol..
I advocate the use of anything spock when there is a need for it to be done, and if it - 1 - does not harm the coin 2 - does what it is intended to do
