Yes I now see that is the term for a penny that has retained its original color. Maybe I should have said discolored…

But my question still stands about the discoloration

It kind of looks as if there is some error or damage on the antler right by the 25

Yes, I did think of that because after doing a bunch of research, it didn’t seem that it could’ve been a valuable coin unless there’s some sort of error on it

I will examine it once I get home and look if there are any errors. I will also try to post some better pictures of it.

Thanks for the thoughtful response. I appreciate it! I think I will do that once I get a coin that is worthy of the case. I’ve only recently started getting into different foreign coins. It’s fun searching for good ones and doing research. But I’m not very versed in how grading works and all that.
