<p>[QUOTE="CeciliaS81, post: 3189415, member: 97263"]I have only been collecting a few years and am learning as I go along. So I am going through a bunch of old wheat pennies and one in particular was just standing out. It is a darker color then the rest of my wheat pennies. Almost burgundy looking. I was just curious if this is dipped in something or maybe not even a genuine wheat penny. It looks good but like I said its color is vastly different from the rest. Again I am learning as I go along so if this is supposed to be obvious please don't make fun as it is not obvious to me why the color is so different. I apologize if this seems silly but I really want to know if this is supposed to be a play coin or a show off coin (like the 100 dollar bills that are coated with "24k" gold worth has much as the paper it is printed on) It looks really cool and almost fancy, which is why I suspect it is coated with some material just for looks. I have attached a few pictures.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance</p><p>This is a 1944 S wheat penny[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
