Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 11/12/2013 12:57 pm The REVERSE looks like post mint damage - damage that occured after it left the mint, somewhere in its circulated travels. To me, the OBVERSE looks like its about 5% or so Off center. It looks like its in about Very Fine condition, and its far from a rarity, so your not going to get rich off this one. A collectible is only as valuable as the collector is willing to pay for it. Edited by Collector-Corner 11/12/2013 12:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Collector-Corner Pillar of the Community 872 Posts	Posted 11/12/2013 2:50 pm Thats right, an off center doesn't have a rim in the affected area. A mis-aligned die has the rim and can have the appearance of an off-center coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 11/15/2013 8:44 pm All 1974 Lincoln cents are 95% copper and 5% zinc. There is no brass (messing). The color variations are due to handling. Cents are called 'red','red/brown' or 'brown'. The middle coin in the bottom row is 'red/brown'. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 11/16/2013 11:52 pm The 1973 cents were struck with more pressure. Thus the higher rims on these coins. I like that like that better. Report this Post to the Staff
