<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jeremu, post: 8575641, member: 92368&quot;]I really beg to differ on this one I believe that color and tone has somewhat of a part and how much a coin is worth... There are some bronze pennies out there that are valuable and also you have silver steel and copper of course.. and they&#039;re really only time copper turns green is when it is exposed to humidity or water over time and it will tarnish a green color.. and those red pennies that look distinctively red are not from some little kid taking a crown to it I guarantee that!!..Yes a lot has to do with the circulation of the penny and how long it&#039;s been in circulation... That&#039;s why you see uncirculated coins very very shiny most of the pennies and coins that we get out of our pocket change our dull looking..So so I guess to answer your question yes appearance matters but as to say what the color variations actually mean in a sense to where they could have struck certain coins on certain types of Base metals when they ran out of copper who knows... I&#039;ve seen a lot of strange coins come out of the mint so if I was you I would just keep digging till I found out,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
