 There's no such thing as a " no mint penny". If a cent doesn't have a mint mark, it was minted in Philadelphia, except for 2017 which had a P to honor the 225th anniversary of the mint. There are a handful of proof coin denominations minted in San Fransisco that did not have the S mint mark and these are referred to as "no S". I don't know where this " no mint" stuff comes from but the absence of a mint mark does not confer value except in the rare case of certain proof coins. I assume you're asking about the whole 1982 large date/small date bronze/zinc thing, and the 1982-D small date bronze is the only valuable one. Yours appears to be a 1982 large date bronze. |

to CCF. We will need good clear photos with close ups sometimes to help you. With that pic I can not tell if your coin is a doubled die,sorry. John1  |

Given the single image posted, I'm not seeing evidence of a doubled die (obverse).

Here is a side by side of a normal coin and the DDO. The devices are even wider on the DDO:  |

Thanks to all! Everyone has been very helpful! Especially, coop! I love the arrows pointing things out, the side by sides and all of the links that coop post for reference.
Nothing against Pinterest, but I've learned, not always the case! I've bought books, but some aren't specific about error v. variety? Thanks to all!
P.S. this was probably one of my first posts, and I'm just seeing the other replies! I thought 1 comment, and I moved on... I'm on it now! Thanks again!

Yes. I believe that was one of the first post I ever made. I see the difference in the pic above. It's still mind boggling on some of the coins? Just not catching on! I'm working on it! Thanks for the help! To answer the question about the no mint mark. When I was first learning the "lingo" and reading posts that others posted, that's how it was referred to in a lot of posts. But, I do understand now, that they're minted somewhere, obviously, but that was the only way I could relate at the time. Now, I was thinking that with no MM, automatically meant that it's from Philadelphia? I was just reading about some coins being Minted in San Fran, but not marked either! I'm going to have to go back and check out the dates! Does this apply to all US coins? |
