Mintage & rarity

Common; tens of millions were typically minted annually during this era.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Counterfeiting low-denomination base metal coins like this is economically unviable, so authenticity is rarely an issue.

Notable varieties & errors

No major high-value varieties are widely recognized for this specific year, mostly standard business strikes with occasional die cracks or minor mint errors collectors might look for.

Care & preservation

Handle by the edges using clean cotton gloves. Store in a cool, dry place in an inert plastic flip or archival holder. Do not clean, as cleaning can ruin original toning and reduce value.
