Jayhawk143 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 7:25 pm Can anyone help explain the reason this penny is so red? I have seen red penny charts, but this penny is red. Not sure if this has value. At the bottom of this post I also posted images of a 1974 with the same discoloring but with a blue(ish) tint on the reverse. I also posted a close up of the mint mark for the '71. The focus is off because of the lack of proper equipment. Edited by Jayhawk143 02/17/2020 9:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Jayhawk143 New Member United States 25 Posts	Posted 02/17/2020 7:55 pm No it's not uncirculated, it is actually well circulated lol. I was wondering about the color, is this common and does it have value? Report this Post to the Staff

You might look to see if you have a re-punched mint mark... http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20L...%201971D.htm Otherwise... most likely one to throw back into circulation.
