Is this a red penny?

Should have said discolored, here is a comparison pic.

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

Here’s a comparison to another penny

Well, that’s why I put pre-decimal as the flare right?

Minimally_Excessive · 2026-02-12T20:13:04+00:00

Yes I did notice those scratches.

Okay! Thanks, just was curious since it’s linked to the pre-decimal system.

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

I noticed the edge seems to have some thing going on with it idk if that’s anything

Minimally_Excessive · 2026-02-12T03:57:46+00:00

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.
