1) The San Francisco mint made no coins in 1959. 2) see image below, pay attention to the last 9 in the date.  |

John042, compare the last "1" to the first "1" on your coin.
Notice how both are straight, vertical strokes.
The "9" curves to the left.
Hope this helps you.

1959 cents have the Memorial reverse, not the Wheat reverse.

to the CCF! John042, what were you hoping it was? Was it just that you thought it was a '59-S Wheat? Or did you see some other error. I only ask because the reverse photo is too blurry to tell what might be going on. I want to make sure we didn't miss something. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!!

The subject of this thread seems to indicate they hoped it was a "1959 S Lincoln Penny". |

I'm seeing a classic, well-circulated 1951 S Wheat cent. |
