Question about 2004 penny with a bluish tint. I am attaching a scan, but the scan really did not capture the bluish tint. I did lighten it a little bit. The question is - is this a real error. The dealer I showed it to - glanced at it and said nope. I figured he would at least take it out of my hand. Any way he concluded by saying it was dipped. Did not say in what - so what do you all think? Error or not. I plan on keeping it no matter what. Oh - forgot to mention the front is a little splotchier with the bluish tint and I did not bother scanning it. Thanks Mark
I would agree with the dealer....I would guess that someone heated this cent....get a light bulb that is pointing up and let a cet rest on top of it...turn on the light and leave the cent alone for about 3-5 min....then turn off the light and leave it for another 5-10 min and then go back and get the cent....it could be alot of neat colors. Speedy
Thanks - I will have to give that a try. Going to stick the coin in the junk coins can anyway. Just to keep it. Mark
Copper is a highly reactive metal. You can synthetically tone them just about any color in the rainbow. Blue lobsters are still worth more
Slightly off topic, but wasn't there a record breaking blue lobster caught in Maine recently? Like last 5 years or so? Yummy... Now I want lobster!
