Right side up pics of both sides of this coin would be nice. Plus what is the weight?

:Probably not a real 74 Cent. Yours is upside down and the real ones are right side up.

Please follow the CCF instructions for posting pictures

Images should be cropped closely to the coin and resized to no more than 800 or so pixels on the longest side. Also make sure your image is oriented right side up. Please, this is very important.

It looks like its passed the DRANO test several times without disappearing, so its most likely copper.

Wasn't there a test year where they had aluminum 1974 cents? And they're like illegal to have?

That coin is a 1974-D... it matches all of the requirements to potentially be the fabled aluminum cent that were recalled and destroyed.... If thats the case, you've found the holy grail. However if the Government knows you have it, you're doomed.

...except that the Chinese made many (understatement) fake ones and they even used to sell on ebay for 2.00 each. I believe they can still be bought online through other websites.
