    I discovered an unusual 1974 penny, in searching a group of pennies, that caught my eye due to the bright bronze appearance and the sharpness of the strike and details. I measured the coin and it was 19.02 mm (O.748 in.) dia. and 1.60mm (0.062 in.) thick and the rim measure ).062mm which was similar to a regular penny. The coin was attracted to a magnet from a 3/16" gap from the table surface. I did not have a scale to weigh it, have ordered one and will update when received.

    It has been plated post-mint. Not legit.
