Just Bob Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 And, with a mintage of 282,760,000, it is not rare. But, if you found it in circulation, that is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKK Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Depending on environment, a copper or bronze penny can turn that color. I don't remember exactly what factor induces it, but I've seen a lot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
