Did you guys know that there is actually a Penny on the Mars Curiosity Rover operating in the Mars surface right now? Check out this link the # 27th and # 29th Photo for close up. http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/14/tech/gallery/mars-curiosity-rover/index.html

    So would this be considered Natural Toning or Artificial Toning? :D

    My current coin collecting interests are: (1) British coins 1838-1970 in XF-AU-UNC, (2) silver type coins in XF-AU with that classic medium gray coloration and exceptional eye appeal.

    To me it's NC...

    Would love to own that piece should it ever return to Earth.

    Awesome! I did not know that.

    Although I strongly doubt this cent will ever return to earth (at least not in the lifetimes of even our great, great, great grandchildren), I can see where it would sell for a fortune... not as much as some of our colonial rarities perhaps, but certainly valuable. Cheers, RickO

    "Moon Money" or "Mars Money?" ;)

    Somebody will retrieve it someday. We won't be around to see it, though.
