<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1153714, member: 26302&quot;]Yes, cents will turn green when exposed to the elements. I actually have some cents found by metal detecting from a friend, and they are a gorgeous glossy green. They are about XF/AU and I don&#039;t think I would trade them for any BU cent.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most us copper is brown because it was never in the ground. This is too bad, since my favorite ancient coins have beautiful gloosy green patina, which most US collectors will never have the joy of owning.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if my beautiful green cents would be labeled as environmental damage? If they were ancients that same toning would double the price at a minimum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
