Geez, @TIF, give a fella some time! Did you read Post #2? It's taken me two days just to get this far, and I've got another couple dozen...

Ooh! Speaking of beasties! What a beauty! Great portrait, and it has a bird. Add in an ouroboros* on not just one but both sides? You've got...
Now if they'll just do some stuff to make the site a teensy bit more user-friendly... :rolleyes:

It IS a bronze cent. Technically all US small cents from late-1864 until mid-1982 are, with the exception of 1943.
As it should have. You hunt long enough, you might eventually find some late-1950s Wheat cents with traces of intact mint red. Doesn't happen...

The one I posted is a proof. PCGS PR66 RB. I agree that your find is nice for a CRH discovery. (I initially didn't realize I was on the Coin...
There was an earlier (2016) thread about this coin, but it was easier to create a new one than to retool the old one to my new format....
