[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3494514, member: 78298"]Your red is not red. Red is when it is brand new. The red you have is from environmental damage. In this 1st photo, I found this coin, it might be called "red". In the 2nd photo, (also found this coin) it is the color red because it was in the ground and is environmentally damaged. Copper is reactive. It will change colors with exposure to air, gases, chemicals, pollutants, fire, soil, etc. As for value, the 1st one is 1 cent. The second one, is very common and might be 5-10 cents. In better condition it is worth more. [ATTACH=full]925454[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]925455[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
