    I think it's just a little environmental damage playing tricks on your mind.

    Welcome to the forum @yvonne.

    A bit a toning/dirt/smudge does wonders...

    What’s slightly more interesting is the “storm cloud” above/on the Memorial... hmm, maybe not that interesting just another dirty/damaged cent.

    Keep searching!

    Very good pictures... but it is simply a worn coin with some environmental damage.... Keep looking, you are seeing minor anomalies....Get a Cherry Pickers Guide...that will help you identify issues. Cheers, RickO

    Good pics and use of highlights. Makes the question and answer so much easier.

    My advice: When looking for minor varieties ... if you have to wonder about it it probably isn't worth bothering with.

    Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon that causes people to see patterns in a random stimulus. This often leads to people assigning human characteristics to objects.

    Agree there is nothing going on with the date, but is the S showing evidence of re-punching?
    Or maybe they all looked like that in '71.

    If by "environmental damage" you mean whiskey, I agree.
