<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 168729, member: 112&quot;]Yes they are all red when struck, but when copper is exposed to the air it most commonly turns brown. It can tone other colors as well. A cent that is called red is supposed to have 95% of its surface be original mint red. A red brown cent can have as little as 5% of its surface be original mint red but usually it is more than that. A brown cent has less than 5% or no original mint red.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
