hydropsyche New Member United States 16 Posts	Posted 02/14/2020 1:38 pm Got bit by the coin bug and started scouring all my coin jars for anything that stands out. Found this penny with no mint mark, which also has a very reddish color to it compared to other pennies, with blue hues with light reflection at different angles. Is this anything, or a plain old penny? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21605 Posts	Posted 02/14/2020 3:30 pm The no MM means it was minted in Philadelphia. 2017 is the only year a cent had the P mm. The colouring is due to toning. Edited by JimmyD 02/14/2020 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Probably spent most of it's life in a penny jar someplace. It has nice toning. Officially, any sort of colouring like this is considered damage, but it has nice eye appeal. A keeper for sure!
