jennayy New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 11/24/2020 02:27 am Got my granddads coins recently and the man was obsessed with old pennies. Looking to get into the hobby and found some, what I thought, interesting coins. First is: 1973 D Lincoln Circulated -Has what seems to be a thicker outer edge than any other penny I've ever seen. Reverse seems to be normal, to me. Sorry for bad pictures, still learning how to work them. Have others I'd like help with in the near future, but one step at a time! Just looking for outside thoughts/advise. This seems a great place to learn! TIA!! Edited by jennayy 11/24/2020 02:53 am Report this Post to the Staff

Whatever it was was altering that area pretty even. Not a mint error, but light damaged. Nothing during the strike process would cause that.
