Hi Jen,
Welcome to the LCF. I don't see anything unusual about it. It appears to have some light toning which is not unusual for copper cents. What does the reverse look like? If the reverse is not toned, then it might have come from the end of an old roll.“What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.” -
Welcome come to LCF Jen.
Your coin looks like a 1966 Cent that would Grade out as Extra Find "EF". What I see is a coin that still has about half of the mint luster, the color I think your talking about..Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.Comment

Hi, Jen! You might want to rephrase your question to be more specific. Are you referring to color or strike qualities?Comment

thanks for the quick responses. The reverse isn't as toned as the obverse but there's still a nice color to it. I'm sorting through coins i got last year and i am trying to figure out and learn what coins I want to keep. So I have coins scattered everywhere and now Im just a little overwhelmed. But thank you i will try to look things up online before I ask again.

I've been sorting out coins from my 40+ year old piggy bank, and this is a sample of the 1966 Lincolns I have found.
I have noticed that the 1966 coins mostly looked like they have been buffed, or something.
Must have been a buffy year for making sense.
Hope this helps youin defining the field of 1966.
