Fit4Gold Valued Member United States 62 Posts	Posted 06/26/2016 11:07 am Hello I am a St Louis Missourian in and I'm just getting into coin collecting and coin hunting and I ran across my first weird looking copper penny from 1970/4. I purchase 6 rolls of pennies and this is the only unusual one that I have came across besides the 1939. Now I know this is not a common error but can you please help me out with this crazy indentions Penny thank you. The penny weighs 3.1grams like all other copper pennies before 1982. It's like they were keeping track of all error pressed pennies.#135 Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5216 Posts	Posted 06/26/2016 1:44 pm The coins is heavily damaged. The numbers are counterstamped that either had some sort of relevance to the person that stamped it or was just some randomness from someone messing with around with a set of number punches.
