John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/12/2021 07:36 am Looks like a normal large date coin. Normal weight is 3.11 grams +/- .13 grams mint tolerance. John1 Edited by John1 10/12/2021 07:38 am Report this Post to the Staff

On this year there are some DDO's on the '70' digits. So a clearer image of those devices might show us something more?

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 10/12/2021 12:19 pm Welcome. Many chance encounters with chemicals can discolor coins. There are even youtube videos showing how to make "gold" and "silver" pennies deliberately. So as long as the weight is OK, its not a planchet from another coin being used (if that idea comes up ).

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/12/2021 2:04 pm I agree, normal large date. Looks like a few die chips on the reverse. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/12/2021 2:25 pm I was hoping for the best, but the coin is not a DDO. Just this year had the DDO's like that on all three mints. Why? Not sure why just that one year? Report this Post to the Staff
