Look at the edges of the coin and you will see the same "glare" that caused what you think is silver. Ribbit

1974 error penny? Can anyone tell me what happened here? I have never seen one like this. I would appreciate any input. Thanks! Michelle:bow:
Looks like it's been sand-blasted. :goofer: Or it could have rolled around on a beach for a week and a MD found it. Ribbit
Of course, yours is awesome, Mike. As to your challenge (assuming you are referencing trade dollars in general vs. only 1874), I don't know if mine has been cleaned, but it sure has some dirt and could use a bath!
