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.

Hey guys after doing some more research I came across a post with some interesting facts. I noticed that this graded 1972 LMC on wrong planchet has weak strike marks that in my opinion my coin resembles quite closely. Take a look please give me yalls feed back on this find. The first two photos are of the graded coin I am speaking of. And the last two our a reposts of my coin so that they are closer in hopes it is easier to inspect and compare the coins in question. Tia

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.
