[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 4321195, member: 78298"]Most copper coins that have circulated have a chocolate look to them. When they are newer they have that shiny luster. Your coin, if you look at the reverse has the patina of a copper plated zinc cent. I don't know what that red stuff is. It doesn't matter in this case. You can even see zinc on your coin, on the obverse edge at 2 o'clock.[/QUOTE]
