When I see something out of the ordinary (to me) I always come ask you guys for help so here's another.
1987-Cent
1. To my eye the 7 looks wacky
2. the overall shape of the penny is like a plate and it's not been man made IMO.
Anyone familiar with this?

Hmm, not sure that I am seeing what you are. Is it the shape, the position, the thickness, or the length that doesn't look right with the coin in hand?
