RinKashiKiku New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/06/2012 4:55 pm Hello there. I'm pretty new at coin collecting and identifying, so please forgive me if I make a mistake. I have a 1951 Wheat penny, and I'm trying to figure out the mint mark. It seems like it was either stamped wrong or damaged. Has anyone seen anything like this? Thank you for your help! ^.^ Edited by RinKashiKiku 07/06/2012 5:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

If you're trying to figure it out so you can put it in an album - don't bother. They are common enough that you could have a nice one in that spot instead. Just toss this in the change bucket and forget you found it. Report this Post to the Staff
