The Obv and Rev of this 1973 are very blurred.
Is this coin struck-thru something.

I didn’t notice until I looked at my post of this, it’s a 1973-S, there’s only a trace of the S on the coin.
Also look at the E in one and the E in cent.

Drew,
This coin looks like it took an acid bath of some sort or it has extreme environmental damage. This coin was not struck through.

The coin still has mint luster, I’ll get a shot of it next to another cent, I’ll take the picture in the sun. for comparison

Looks like an acid bath to me also. The rims tend to be reduced with an acid bath. The coins from that year are the strongest strikes from that era. A weighing would help on your determination. Probably thinner than a normal cent also.

I agree. It looks like it had an acid bath. Not to mention some very severe damage. Looks like a "Chemistry Lab Project", too.

The acid wash must have caused the images to disappear because I can't see them.
