<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 311367, member: 66"]I have heard and seen these before, but they are normally gold plated. It was a private "commemorative" marking the resumption of legal gold ownership that took place on 12/31/74. I'm not sure why they used a 1975 cent (all of the ones seen are 1975) and not a 1974, but I would guess it is intended to indicate that 1975 was the first year of legal gold, plus the last day of 1974.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
