And as already mentioned above, in 1972 the cents were not plated.

Hey, no pickin on @jtlee321 he most likely just got jumbled up. The guy has some amazing coins, also a great photographer.

 

I thought the coin in question was a 1973.

 

Not picking on anyone, just want a new member to get the correct information.
I've been known to make mistakes like this dozens of times. Just not paying close attention. LOL

 

That was so my bad!! I just didn't see the date and my fingers outpaced my brain. I had to laugh at my self for not catching it as a 1973 dated Lincoln Cent. Thank you for correcting my error. LOL

 

Thank you for the kind words. I apparently was not very observant when I posted my reply to the OP. LOL

 

We all do it one time or another.
