Hello all,

I'm new to coin collecting/hunting(under a year) and just came across a 1973 penny that I've never seen before. I've tried to do my own research on it and couldn't find anything that resembles my penny. I know the weight for the 1973 is suppose to be 3.11g but this one weighed 2.8g. The discoloration looks different (light blue/teal) and has many marking both front and back. Also streaking letters on the back side. Hoping somebody out there can tell me more about this penny and if you've seen one like it having trouble loading pictures on here but will be willing to email anyone interested in seeing it.

Thank you all.

You will get many more quality responses when there are quality images in the first post of a topic. Please start a new topic when you are able to upload pictures. If needed you can use the testing forum. Tutorials are below.

Note: When you start a new topic this one may be removed. So don't panic if you get an email that your topic was removed it's only this one.

PC: We highly recommend IrfanView. (Download) (Irfanview Tutorial)

Apple Computers: We have no idea. Never had an Apple product in our lives. We don't even eat apples. Can anyone help with this? Post here if you can.

Cell Phones (iPhone or Android): First, do not upload cell phone pictures of screens. They are terrible. Please check your camera settings are set to Medium quality. If it uses compression use 70%, it's perfectly fine for the internet. For file type please use WEBP if your phone has it, otherwise JPG. Avoid PNG and GIF, they are horrible choices. Be sure to crop the image to only show the coin. This is a great setup for cell phones.
