I found a 1973 penny with a thicker rim on the left side of the front and the back has a open AM. Is this a normal error or something to look for? Thank y'all!

I feel they were trying to fix the issues they had on the 1968-1972 cents with so many Machine Doubling issues. Well they solved it by a stronger strike. So they are all that way. The Close AM started in 1993: These are the ones to look for. Report this Post to the Staff
