No, the green color on a penny comes from oxidation of the copper in the coin, while the Statue of Liberty turned green due to the natural weathering of the copper material it is made of over time. Different mechanisms are at play in these two situations.
The value of a copper penny from 1920 in good condition with some green corrosion (85-93% turning green) would likely be around 5 to 10 cents for its copper content. The coin's numismatic value might be lower due to the corrosion, unless it is a rare or highly sought-after variety.
A penny can turn green due to the oxidation process when exposed to air and moisture. The speed of this process can vary depending on the conditions it is exposed to, such as humidity level and presence of other chemicals. In general, it can take several weeks to several months for a penny to turn green.
A green penny can turn green when exposed to the elements, like oxygen and moisture, causing a chemical reaction with the copper in the penny. This reaction forms copper oxide, which is the green coating that gives the penny its green color.
Garlic turning green in vinegar is due to a natural chemical reaction between the sulfur compounds in garlic and the acidity of vinegar. This reaction can produce a greenish color when the garlic is exposed to acidic environments for a prolonged period. It is safe to eat and does not affect the flavor or quality of the garlic.
it would turn a dark color green
It's aged copper so it's like a penny that's why the statue of liberty is green
the Statue of Liberty is green because it has been there for a long time. Since metal rusts, the Statue of Liberty also rusted. In fact, it rusted enough for it to turn green. If a penny rusts enough, it will also turn green.
The outside skin of the Statue of Liberty is made of copper. When it was first made it was the color of a penny. Over time the copper reacts with the water in the air to formal compounds that are green-blue in color.
The Statue of Liberty was made out of pennies so the original color of the Statue is brownish like a penny. But as time passed by the air and other chemical reaction faded away the color leaving it green.
At first the french gave the statue of liberty to New York! When it first arrivedit was copper but it oxidized and turned green. If you have ever seen a green penny, that's an example.
A color of a penny as it was made of copper.
are you high because i know i sure am
No it turns just a greenish color. Look at the Statue of Liberty for example.
Oxidation is what is seen in on Lady Liberty. If you want to be even more specific, the color of Lady Liberty is verdigris. Other cases of oxidation can be seen if you look at pennies in a wishing well.
Copper is a brown solid. Take a look at an American or Canadian penny. In nature, copper is usually found as an oxide that is bluish green. The Statue of Liberty is copper and has oxidized to this bluish green color.
No. Gold is too expensive, and there is barely enough gold in the world to account for a monument the size of the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty is and always has been made of steel. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually the guy above me is wrong...steel wouldn't explain the green... the only thing that would oxidize into that green shade is a malleable copper that would appear gold.... so pretty much yeah, gold to the eye, but cheap copper... it'd look pretty cool tho...
Acid in the rain reacted with the copper to turn it green. That is why there is sometimes green on pennies. Acid in the rain reacted with the copper to turn it green.
