Then it's a penny (at least it is when you call it that 12 times on just one page of your web site). Call it whichever makes you happy, everyone knows exactly what you're referring to either way.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 10/17/2022 7:47 pm Read the back of the coin. It says "cent" not penny. Report this Post to the Staff
HGK3 Pillar of the Community United States 573 Posts	Posted 10/18/2022 11:38 am Actually, it says "One Cent", which is the value, not the name. If that were determinative of the name, why do we call it a Nickel? I'm just pointing out that if US Mint uses the term "Penny" to describe the item, why correct another hobbyist when they do the same thing? Report this Post to the Staff
