Hi all, First I got to tell you I got $16.00 worth of pennies from a bank on Saturday, unrolled and I told her I just want to search them and they can have them back, she said "We don't want them back". I just bought them and got out before she changed her mind.
This 1974 penny was in the bag. I looks like full grease both sides but I don't know for sure because I've never seen one like this before. Any ideas? Thanks

Looks like a drier coin. If it was a Greaser...the rim would still be intact and not mushy like yours.
