Dsodergren New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 3:16 pm Hello! I went to an estate sale yesterday and picked up 5 pennies that I am assuming have errors? 1955 Wheat penny has no mint mark and is 180 degree reversed on the other side where the wheat is. They are all like this for the 1961 and 63's. Can you review and tell me if this is something or just a cool find? My photos are too big and I will need to retake them and upload them later tonight.

Dearborn Moderator United States 98403 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 6:59 pm please post up pictures. BUT also post up that '55 standing up on edge in front of a mirror so we can see both sides at the same time in one image.. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 98403 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 10:28 pm I would still like to see that '55, as the OP only stated that one coin is 180 degrees out - that and the indication that they are from the U.S. they should know what the proper orientation should be. (but I could be wrong). Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2286 Posts	Posted 09/26/2022 11:09 pm Dearborn- He was referring to all of the coins having the same "errors." He mentions the 55 as a Wheat cent, seeing as it has a different reverse, that was the significance there. You realize when you know how to think, it empowers you far beyond those who know only what to think. -Neil deGrasse Tyson Edited by NumismaticsFTW 09/26/2022 11:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SamCoin Pillar of the Community United States 3237 Posts	Posted 09/27/2022 01:55 am no mint mark means Philadelphia and all US coins are struck with a 180° rotation between the obverse and reverse so that when flipped end over end the image will still be right side up. This is called coin alignment (as opposed to medallion alignment when they are oriented the same way). Report this Post to the Staff
