What does it weigh?
Yes, just normal cents. One is really beat up, looks like it spent time getting run over in a parking lot.
The 7 in the date has damage on the top, that is all I see.
Looks normal to me as well, what are you seeing to make you question it?
Definitely damaged by heat, it doesn't matter where the bubble forms, it doesn't raise the whole surface. In the case of your coin, the area...
Zinc would be showing through if it was all damage.
Welcome to coin talk. Post some pictures and we will have a look.
Not yet, but I will.
Yup, I like Hickock45!
You tube does have it's uses, I watched a video to learn how to change the bearings in our washing machine!
Impossible to tell from that picture. You would need to post close up pictures of each coin front and back to get any real answers. From that...
I am no expert on these coins but I would be concerned about it being genuine. These are very heavily counterfeited.
1971 British two pence coin, well circulated, no real numismatic value. Anything else you want to know about it? Oh, welcome to the forum.
Ahhh, now I see it, thanks!
Definitely in a bezel, it is most likely the bezel that is magnetic.
Checking ebay, undamaged circulated examples seem to go for a dollar or two. I would think a damaged one would be substantially less.
I believe it to be just wear, but even if it was weak when struck it wouldn't be a big deal. Weak and partially missing letters are not that...
It is there but weak, most likely just 62 years of wear and tear.
I can clearly see the US in trust on the obverse and in pluribus on the reverse. I don't see any missing letters.
What letters are missing? Pictures are a bit small, and my eyes aren't what they used to be.
