    Answered: 1945 deep dark red

    Is there a specific reason why a penny turns this deep dark red color?

  2. "Well it certainly is deep dark red.

    I could be wrong because of the circulation but I see some thickness on the tail of the 9 and possibly the 5 towards the rim (Class 6 doubling?). It is hard to tell if any markers match existing varieties because it gets blurry when I try to enlarge it.

    See if you can find any markers at this 1945d 1DO-003 link .

    I agree Cliff, I'm also seeing extra thickness on the date, especially the tail of the 9... and the MM looks to be in the correct position to possibly be Coppercoins 1945D-1DO-003.

    I'm wondering if that is a die chip on the lower right bottom of the 4? I'm seeing the same thing on VV's Die 010, as well as, comparing CC 003 and VV's 010 some similar die dots/chips around different parts of the date.

    It will click Dearing, you are doing all the right things to learn... look at lots of Lincolns, ask questions, and keep learning new things!

    Since you are not seeing the die chip in the lower right wheat grains of your coin, there's still a chance that it could be the DD, just an earlier die state before the chip happened. You are finding some real nice looking Lincolns! Once you get your new lens in, then you can go back and look at the ones you have set aside!

    Very cool looking coin!! I'm not sure what in particular would have made it that deep red but something that is came in contact with over the years, a chemical reaction of some sort maybe. Possibly something that could even be removed by a little soak in acetone, it may just be a dusting of something on the coin.
