Tncollector New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 02/25/2021 5:26 pm Can anyone offer ideas on this penny? It looks like a 1970 with the naked eye. The coin is so thin on the right side that there is no rim there. It almost looks like a strike through cloth except the ones I have seen are only on one side. It also doesn't have a crosshatch that cloth has. It is also almost golden looking. Appreciate any help with identifying this. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
