I'm not a copper collector, but was that coin cleaned a long time ago?
This is my newest acquisition. It is an overdate, but you have to look very closely to recognize it; the Denver variety is that way compared to...
I'm currently deployed, so I've set a few of these aside. I never bothered during my earlier deployments, and now I'm finding out some of those...

Care to elaborate? What does that mean?
Hi everyone, I'm putting together year sets for my two boys; each will get an NGC certified coin of every coin in their birth year. Yes, I know...
FYI, coins 1964 and older had silver content. Yours is the modern "cupro-nickel," or copper-nickel alloy.
