jman14 New Member Canada 23 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 9:49 pm Hi folks.. Very very newbie coin collector from Canada. I came across what I believe is a 1934 Wheat penny with no mint mark. My understanding is that this means it was minted in Philly? Is there anything special about this coin or is that quite common? I don't know very much about coins to begin with. I know a bit about Canadian coins but not that much about American coins. Thanks for your time. Cheers. Report this Post to the Staff

None of the regular issue P-mint wheaties would be considered a key or semi-key, they are all pretty common in average circulated condition.

joshkellogg Valued Member United States 150 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 8:00 pm I'm a newbie too, (aboot a year) but I live down in the States. It's funny because I have learned quite a bit about US coins, but the Canadian stuff might as well be greek. Do you find many of the centennial (bicentennial?) canadian cents in canada? I found my second today- I save 'em. Report this Post to the Staff
jman14 New Member Canada 23 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012 08:45 am the centennail coins are very cool. I have found several of the penny. The rest of the set: nickel, dime, quarter, etc are alot harder to find, at least that has been my limited experience. Cheers! Report this Post to the Staff
