Hello all.
Brand new here. inherited my dad's coin collection. I haven't seen it and gone through it in about 50 years. Going through it, bringing back memories.

Lots of work ahead catalogue it and seeing what I've got.

I found this '74 penny. Horrible condition.
Valueless?

Cheers y'all

This looks like a "Vise job" where someone has pressed a coin into the surface of another. The lettering is reversed, and the opposite side has been flattened. Some tried to make this coin look like an error. Post Mint Damage. PMD

Thank you.
I hadn't considered that, but now seems obvious! :)
