The real color to this penny is Black/Gray almost silver like. Just looking at it seems like&nbsp; a strong charcoal black with details of rubbed unpolished silver... many of you would have already guess it to be a penny that was dipped in acid or some type of solution right? well that&#039;s what i thought as well until i asked some local coin collectors in my area and all 4 of them said that it was unknown and was not treated with chemicals. None of them have every seen a penny in this form. The penny is actually noticeably lighter in hand and has a ruff texture on the feel.. it has no dent or scratches that i can see and looks to be in grade A+ shape. If you look closer in the light, you would see lumps of die everywhere and noticeably the reverse die line stretched on the word &quot;AMERICA&quot; and the word &quot;STATES&quot; i believe my have die cracks on the &quot;TATES&quot; right above the letters.. I&#039;m curious to get your opinions on what it may be. Give me feed back on it, ask questions and i&#039;ll give you details on it.. hopefully we can figure out what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
