Is this 1970 D penny a fake? 0

Wondering if this is penny is some sort of gift shop replica or something?

What makes you think it is a fake?

Did you weigh it to see if it is 3.11g

Yes It weighs correct it just seems too perfect and color is different. It was inside of a little See-through crystal ball type thing And I broke it out of it and then ended up with Weighing correct

Something odd to it

I'm pretty sure that what you have is a nice uncirculated 1970 D Lincoln cent. Copper reacts differently to different environments so it is possible the colouring is due to it being enclosed in the crystal ball.  Keep it in the 2x2 as it is in MS condition.

I have got to ask.  Have you had the crystal ball for a while and just needed to find out about the odd-colored Cent or did you recently obtain the crystal ball and also decided you needed to find out about the odd-colored Cent?   In my mind, an intact Crystal Ball with a Real Cent embedded might be worth a few dollars, a Broken Crystal Ball with either a fake Cent or real Cent is worth about a Cent.

It was more like a ornament rather then a crystal ball I should say . It was a round clear ball that the penny just rolled around in. And it always looked like a kind of Monopoly money or something in that manner. Even though monopoly didn’t use change, you get my point.

Thanks Ton, I was picturing something like a lucite embedded Cent not a hollow sphere with the Cent kind of free to move around.
