The penny is of ultimate significance to the final outcome of the story, because the main character accidentally finds it in his suit pocket after he has traveled back in time, and seeing that it is a 1979 penny causes him to lose his grip on the past and he is inexorably taken back in the present day against his will.

The text of "Penny In The Dust" by Ernest Buckler doesn't explicitly state who Pete is talking to at the beginning of the story. The story starts with Pete's internal monologue, reflecting on a childhood memory. There's no direct indication of him conversing with anyone. It's likely he's alone with his thoughts as he reminisces about the lost penny

1972 has no significance in terms of changes in penny densities. The US Mint did not change the composition of its penny between 1909 to 1982, so any pennies from within this time period would have the same density. Pennies from this time period all contained the same proportions of metals (95% copper, 5% zinc.) Coins from post-switch 1982 to present day are minted of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. Copper's density is ~8.9g/cm3 while zinc's density is ~7.1g/cm3. Considering the relative compositions of each version of the penny, the post-1982 penny would be the less dense penny, and the pre-1982 penny would be the more dense of the two.
