Xtina916 New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 8:33 pm Hi, I randomly found this penny on the stairs inside my home today. I had just vacuumed yesterday so I'm not sure where it came from and no one else has been in my home. It looks very rough. I know some 1974 pennies are rare. While researching, I came across this forum and wanted to see if this is anything special. Report this Post to the Staff

You are probably thinking of the aluminium pattern cents produced that year but not officially released. If somehow you did find one of these, it would weigh much less than a normal cent and would be white/silver in color.
