ok, thanks alot for the data. about 1867-1992, what is so big about 1992 that made them put the 1867 there? are 1994 pennys red?
1992 marked the 125th anniversary of Confederation. 1994 may just be toned. Maybe from heating or exposure to chemicals? Or painted red?
"1994 may just be toned. Maybe from heating or exposure to chemicals? Or painted red? " so your saying normal toning would not happen with out tampering in 11 years?
It's not unusual to encounter older CDN pennies that are still red. Some people, like my father, like to keep shinny red pennies away in an air tight jar. I went through its content one day and discovered couple of red pennies from the 60s. According to the Charlton Standard, a MS-64 red 1994 cent is worth 8$, while a MS-65 red cent is at 25$. The price drops dramatically to 0.15$ for a MS-63 R/B cent. Of course you can still have circulation grade cents that are still red. These however worth just the face value. Red cents are not that unusual, to find a streak-free, smudge-free, and print-free red penny, THAT is difficult. The newer ones (since 2002, with P privy mark) are steel plated, so I'd imagine they'd stay red for much longer.
