<p>[QUOTE="l.cutler, post: 3966234, member: 13318"]Color alone means absolutely nothing. Copper and copper alloys can tone any number of different colors. Your coin looks completely normal. If you feel it may be on a foreign planchet you will need to do more research, what is the weight of the foreign coins the mint made? Exactly what is the composition? etc. Another thing, while it is debated as to whether it actually happened, in 1944 the mint was authorized to make cents from recycled shell casings. Shell casings made of brass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
