The coin on the right appears to have been as acid washed    The coin in question is the one with sharper detail. I have a question so does an acid wash make the LMC sound like a Canadian penny?   |

The edges seem to have a much shinnier look than any usual 1971. As if it's brass plated.
Another question of mine is the type of patina it's gathered in the years. Almost seems as if I can easily remove the layer and it would shine bright. Not the norm from what I have seen myself. Where they making any brass plated Penny's in 1971?

Doesn't really look like a cent that has been acid soaked long enough to remove that much weight. I suspect a rolled thin planchet.

Hey guys after some web research. I am feeling strong towards a possible planchet error. Being a 1971D LMC stamped on a liberia cent. Country Liberia Type Standard circulation coin Years 1960-1984 Value 1 Cent 0.01 LRD = 0.000051 USD Metal Bronze Weight 2.6 g Diameter 18 mm Thickness 1.5 mm Shape Round Orientation Coin alignment #8593;#8595; References KM# 13, Schön# 13 |

Closer images would help more. If the devices are weak, I'd agree with what Condor101 suggested.

Not struck on a Liberia cent. At 18 mm the Liberia cent is almost exactly the same diameter as a US dime. A cent stuck on a dime planchet always shows a noticeable missing of detail around the edge especially if the planchet was not centered in the collar. Your coin shows full rims.

I do see a bit of a weak strike on the designs. So it might have been a thinned planchet. Seeing the image of the edge you can see that there is a coating of environment issue on the coin.

For 1971 I see the San Francisco mint produced the majority of foreign coinage including Liberia cents.
The only foreign coinage I can find in production at the Denver mint was for the Philippines. Note, the composition seems to differ. Thanks, Doug.

Heres a snapshot of the graded coin I found. In which is the coin I am comparing my coin to and believe they have very similar weak strike marks on the reverse.  |

Foreign coinage the closest in size produced at the Denver mint.
Year: 1971
Country: Philippines
Denomination: 5 Sentimos
Weight: 2.5 grams
Diameter: 18.4 mm
Composition: 60% copper, 40% zinc
Food for thought. Thanks, Doug.

How's it going y'all. So in my case which establishment would be best for me to send this coin. It's will be the only one I'm sending also I believe this coin is a foreign planchet error.
