Now looking at them the 1979 does look a little thinner than normal, but the 1973 is just as thick if not thicker than any other cent I compare it to.
I also found what I think are two error coins, one is a 1988, where the Lincoln memorial and the word United are "imprinted" over Lincoln's face on the obverse.
And the other is a copper penny full weight but you cannot see a date or any of the words on the front, only a outline of Lincoln, also you can see the Memorial showing through on the Obverse.
i am sure scans would help you guys out a little more, I will try and take some tomorrow.
Do any of these have any value?
Thanks.
