The copper is 3/32 of an inch thick, that's just a bit thinner than two pennies. The copper's green color is a layer of patina that forms with age (extended periods of oxidization). Like a really old penny would appear if not stored properly. The color of the Statue of Liberty before patination was a shiny reddish brown color. .
