Varied patina and perhaps varied material composition, but it doesn't strike me a anything particular. Just visually different.
Sure you are!! Here's a quick comparison on placement using the OP's photo and VV's. Different placement, albeit the OPs photo is slightly...
You might be right Islander. A couple things do make me uncomfortable with the coin: Looks cleaned, but it might be the washout in the photo...
Keep in mind that for Canadian cents, some are copper plated steel cents. If you visit the Coins and Canada site you'll see that for various...

I estimate a VF-25 grade; use this link to check for yourself - https://www.pcgs.com/photograde/#/Washington/Grades As for value, sometimes...
I agree with our fellow enthusiasts: an RPM with circulation damage. Check this link:...

Indeed! When you find a coin in nice condition, you may want to do a closer inspection of the coin. You might find something interesting! Use...
Thanks for that. Not much difference. It may have been in an album then. But when I see gold toning, I often associate that with a liberated...
I must admit, I advocate for Machine Damage over Machine Doubling as I feel it better describes the effect (i.e., cause-and-effect). It elicits a...
No, it's a business strike. It was also probably in a collection, probably in a folder like yours there, where it toned. The reverse may not be...
Tips: determine the optimal focal length for your phone's camera. Find an object of mass/weight that is about that same measurement. Use that to...
Greasy D's...get them while they last!! Actually, sounds more like a greasy diner for the late nighters.
Trot - have you gone to Coppercoins to look at the DDOs for this date? For each listing, they provide you with markers to match up your coin....
