    I came across this coin in a bucket of old pennies I scored at a garage sale recently. It has no identifying marks besides the 1895 and the *2* on the front. It looks like gold but I'm not holding my breath. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks

    Not worth much I'm afraid.

    thank you eddyk! The one I found sure is clean compared to the brown ones I am seeing everywhere

    Someone might have altered your coin somehow. The color doesn't look normal. Sometimes I come across coins in foreign bins that have been coated with something to change their color.
