<p>[QUOTE="MatrixMP-9, post: 3604601, member: 93422"]My Dad (awesome dude btw) came down to visit me last winter here in Florida. Ive talked to him before about having fun with casual coin hunting. He brought a small jar of coins and gave it to me. When I looked at them originally, I was just looking for erros and didnt see anything worth investigating further. I put them back away until this morning looking again. I by no means can even begin to understand grading. I can tell you if something "looks good" or "looks like road damage" and thats the extent of it. I do realize its hard to even guess a grade by photography. So with these pennies, they look like they are in good shape in my "opinion". some look amazing actually and are a pretty color and have very little dings or scratches. Some dont even look touched much. They must have been put away pretty soon after 1974. There are some other dates in this batch.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is simple, is there any real premium for 1974 pennies worth investigating?
