Dearborn Moderator United States 94795 Posts	Posted 07/09/2023 5:49 pm The weight is spot on for this year. Most likely this is environmentally altered. Collecting since 1972.

Very possibly, this coin could be a metal detector find, and subsequently put back into circulation. Standard coin, not an error, environmental damage, a spender. Report this Post to the Staff
