mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2951 Posts	Posted 05/07/2024 7:58 pm with the above, but to better clarify your title on the phrase: Quote: No mint mark You mean Philadelphia with no letter below date?... Yes, and that is just environmental discoloration post mint... Report this Post to the Staff
newbieK New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 05/07/2024 8:04 pm There is no evidence of staining because it doesn't bleed onto the edge, and all the letters are the same color. The penny itself is two different colors. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/07/2024 8:15 pm Coin was partly covered by something as it toned - like an envelope in a drawer. Anyone who would pay over face for this needs their head examined. Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73579 Posts	Posted 05/07/2024 11:07 pm I agree with Coinfrog and BadThad. Just a face value coin. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 05/08/2024 07:15 am Word of advice - drop the ' no mint mark', it makes you sound like a clueless newbie who watched too many clickbait YouTube videos (or worse reads the Sun). But at least you are here. The Philadelphia Mint has never put its P mintmark on cents, except in 2017 to commemorate the 225th anniversary of the founding of the mint. So ' no mint mark' is just a normal Philly coin. FWIW - except for the War Nickels to identify them as 35% silver - they didn't mark any coins until the 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollars and then the other coins from 1980 onwards. Even today, some bullion coins don't have the "P". -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
