    Do pennies minted at the Denver mint look different than pennies minted elsewhere? I have attached 4 pics. Two 1983 pennies and two 1982. One made in Denver, one not. Also is the slight doubling at Liberty on the 1982 that is darker anything other than age? I've also included a 1972 penny the looks like the building from the reverse is showing through. Any thoughts? View attachment 1130047 IMG_20200612_145023.jpg View attachment 1130047 IMG_20200612_145023.jpg IMG_20200612_135215.jpg IMG_20200612_135330.jpg IMG_20200612_152543.jpg

    Lol, no not really, but the quality control at Denver is a lot better than it is at Philadelphia.

    The 1973-D small cent has part of Lincoln's coat and vest abraded away. I would keep that one as a mint error.
