Roommate passed, found this mounted penny - special?

#1 Unread post by Rach27 »

Hi everyone I don’t know much about coins at all but recently my best friend and housemate passed away from Covid and while cleaning out his room I found this framed/mounted penny that appears to be a 1973. They must have some kind of special meaning in one way or another due to its presentation and I was hoping someone could help me figure that out. Thanks so much[media[/l[l

This coin is just a typical 1973 that has been environmentally damaged/dirtied/corroded. Sorry for your loss.
