First let me say that this coin and all the others that I am listing are a shiny Copper, they look like a new penny so not sure if they are copper or bronze. Someone told me that they are 90% copper, not sure how true that is. In my photos they look like the color bronze but I assure you they are a shiny copper color, just like a new penny. All my coins are 100% guaranteed authentic. I don't know much about coins so sorry if the details are not perfect. I have taken many pictures so you can see better for yourself. I will be listing lots of coins this week so please keep a look out for more. I am selling my father's collection and I'm trying to sort through them and have no clue at what I am doing so if you have any questions feel free to contact me at anytime. I hope I can learn something from you while doing this. Thanks so much for clicking on my item and checking it out. Please feel free to check out my other listings for great deals.
