<p>[QUOTE="DavidBedoy, post: 1706653, member: 47078"]Thank you, yeah I didn't do enough of homework on proofs. I was just really surprised to see this penny still shinning like a 2012 penny. Even more than that though, it has so little wear, I mean it has maybe some idk like 2 or 3 bearly visible marks. The back of the penny has no marks, plus I've found a fair share of 1980-1989 penny's. Mostly of the 80's penny's I've found we're the 84's and I've noticed that most 80's pennies have a real dark brown look due to the age and circulation of them, the whole reason why I'm explaining myself is because I wonder how this penny saw so little circulation? P.s. Would a penny lets say lost under a couch or something could have preserved this penny or would it still have gained some patina or some darkening due to just age?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
