1961 Canadian penny

Post by Gibby1314 » Sun Jul 15, 2018 11:20 am

Hi
Have a 1961 Canadian penny, that looks silver in color compared to another one.
Curious if it is an error or means nothing?
Thanks.

Not uncommon.
Either been plated or chemically altered.
I have seen them in various colours such pink, blue , etc.
