Many of these had a brass type color, some even say they are brass or yellow cents. Thus is most likley a wash or rinse type of planchet coloring error or the planchets were left in the plating to long. The patina you see is most likley a result of that. There are other years this happend, 1985, 97 98 to name a few. If you want to learn more search this forum for Brass Cents or see Ken Potters website.
