    Hi folks
    New to the forum. Have a question in regards to a 1972 penny. Was going thru a large amount of coins that i have accumalated over the years and came across a 1972 d penny. Looking under a magnifying glass to check the dates the 9 looks like a seven has no loop on it. Was curious if anyone has come across something like this. There is no damage or anything that looks like it was tampereed with. Would post pics but only have access to a scanner and am unsure if it would show up clear enough. Any info would be appreciated

    Here is a scan of the penny, not sure how well it will show up .After scanning it the nine looks more like a nine instead of a seven. Does have the loop of the nine but seems to be pushed together so disregard.

    Looks like a small die chip inside the 9.

    If anyone thinks this 9 even remotely looks like a 7 buy you some new bifocals

    +1 That is indeed what it is. Nice find, but not really worth much. You might get a buck or two for it as there are those out there who collect these.

    Hey I just said you need some bifocals . you need to take my good advice and then you won't need those magnifying glasses to tell the difference between a 9 and a seven. being able to see will open up a whole new world to you.
