John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/19/2016 3:42 pm Your coin is not a proof. It is a business strike and they don't have a mint mark. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 05/19/2016 3:47 pm It would look like this: The 1909-2016 Philly business strike cents do not have a mint mark. So if you find one of these it is normal. The mint mark was forgotten on the design for the proof cents that should of had an 'S'. Report this Post to the Staff

A business strike die was accidentally mixed in with the proof hubbed dies and sent out for polishing and then then shipped to San Francisco. Report this Post to the Staff
jasper62 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 05/20/2016 1:05 pm Are Planchets that are used in the making of proof coins special in anyway, or are they the same planchets used for business strikes? Thanks Edited by jasper62 05/20/2016 1:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 05/22/2016 06:45 am The proof cent planchets have a slightly thicker plating layer to help prevent spliting of the plating from the two strikes. Report this Post to the Staff
