Going through a box of pennies and found this 1964 D penny. What do you think happened to this?

Hmmm interesting. The penny doesn't look like mine though. Mines pretty rough as the other is smooth

It is definitely an acid bath, or corrosion from being in the ground. It looks like many I have deposited into circulation from metal detecting.

I looks like one that they used to grind down on the sidewalk, to fit in the 10 cent coke machine.

I was thinking it had been in the ground a while then someone cleaned it. Cuz it's looks gold colored. It was just interesting looking. Thanks for you guys input. I'm just adding to my copper pile

First few were dug up and tumbled clean or found in the surf at a fresh water beach.
