Don’t you have a stapler

 

Take a pair of pliers and pinch those staples flat. You wouldn’t want to risk accidentally having a staple scratch that coin.

 

I say that we ban all staples in coin collecting- slabbing.
Rather see the glue type or use scotch tape instead...

 

I see die deterioration doubling on the obverse, but its not this one
1960 small date over large date with D/D mint mark. You can find good photos on
coppercoins and NCG, PCGS . MS-60 runs about 200 and MS-65 about 400.
When I get some free time in about 2 months , I plan to sell some of mine, either graded or ungraded. Some dealers do not even believe they are real until I point them out on PCGS or other sources.

Many listed on ebay and USACoinBook are not as above.

 

I see a "die chip" in the 9. I do NOT see any doubling... Die deterioration or machine doubling.
I would need much better Pics. though to make a final assessment. JMO.

 

Copper Cents DO NOT go from Red to Brown in such a short time. Impossible!
It takes way longer than a few minutes. It takes years! And it also depends on the condition or environment it is kept in.

I recommend that you always take your pictures out of the 2x2 flip. The glare on the flip will not allow for proper attribution.

 

Not the overdate as everybody else has mentioned

 

Hey buddy .I'm going to rectify the challenge .I'm buying a dehumidifier today. doing my research now. no more RB copper coins .RB lol
In like 30 minutes

 

I have a 2 cent euro on my bathroom window sill that I left there years ago to see what those, ummmm, conditions would do to the coins color. It has taken YEARS for that coin to take on any toning. They don't tone that fast unless there is something else being done to them. If your's are toning that quickly you could actually post a 30 minute video of it happening. At least then we could see what's going on.

 

Subjected to higher levels of heat could possibly change the color of copper pennies, as in leaving them on the dashboard of your car in the burning hot sun for an entire summer.

 

As others have said, it can’t happen that fast. I would think that you looked at it in one light and later looked at it again under a different light. Hence, the change in its appearance.

 

I live in an area that is at or near 100% humidity most of the year. I have never seen any coins affected by that here.

 

Thank you I appreciate it. But not all examples are the same in different dye states

 

I got a new stapler Lol

 

I have about 40 BU 1960 D rolls. A variety of die chips saved in a closet. Must have been sold to the husband in 1960. His widow was moving into assisted living and I helped sell her coins. What a shock for her was 1 1/2 oz gold. The downer was the 1960 D speculative cents. Maybe I’ll dig them out next month. About 6 different die chips. They must have had some problems at the mint

 

Just make sure those staples are flat as I stayed earlier.
