<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1211704, member: 26302&quot;]While I can understand many people&#039;s hesitation with blue cents, since it is a trait of many cleaning products, it can also be NT is certain environments. I believe that environment is the same that makes silver black, that is high moisture, high sulfur environment. I had my hand turned blue one time from cleaning out a box of coins I bought for salvage value. They were stored in a basement, the silver had all turned black, (I had to sell to scrap dealer, almost made me cry), and the wheat cents were all blue and blue/green. I remember it well since it took me a week to get the blue off my hands. The blue green cents were corroded so just turned into the bank, but the blue ones were fine, just blue. Since green is the oxide color of copper maybe it makes sense blue would be the intermediate color from red.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said that, this is very uniform on the cent in question. Either it was stored by itself in that environment unprotected, or (more likely) was exposed to a chemical dip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
