    Looks like environmental toning. Happens when the metal reacts to things like dirt or sulfur.

    That is a somewhat normal looking, well circulated cent. It has toned according to whatever it has been exposed to. I think it has lost all its numismatic value.

    Your coin has seen close to 56 years of circulation. Like the other posters have said above environmental toning combined with decades of circulation is the reason why your coin looks like this.

    Appears to be just a well circulated cent. NAV IMHO.

    I'm so sorry, I though you put that it has an error on it. Well apart from the damage, as the others said, it probably sat in some dirt for a couple years and reacted with water and soil and nutrients and turned red-ish.

    I've seen coins like that and it's nothing overly fantastic.

    The coin itself is normal but it has circulation damage and it's darker than it should be. Maybe from the environment.

    Very circulated, lots of damage. I would have to say that the color is paint or something else applied to it. The color matches the broth from the fresh beets I was boiling the other night.
