<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 3311452, member: 33176"]When cent coins are made, they leave the mint in "Red" coloration. If these coins are immediately conserved, i.e. preserved from the ravages of oxidation by being sealed in some sort of container, they will stay "Red" for an extended period of time. After sufficient time, many of these will start to oxidize and start to produce copper oxide and will become "Red Brown" and eventually they will end up as "Brown". "Tis common all who live will die..."[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
