Hot Momma Possum New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 8:05 pm I found a 1973 penny that is very lightly textured. It weighs 3.05 g Why is it like this? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73736 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 8:49 pm To CCF! Looks like acid or heat damage. Either way, it's PMD and not an error. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19120 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 9:34 pm I'm thinking acid exposure. Seen similar before, even experimented with a common cent and came up with the same look. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/01/2024 05:39 am I agree with acid damage. Heat damage would not lessen the weight. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
