Dearborn Moderator United States 96315 Posts	Posted 02/03/2023 8:15 pm Huge distracting scratch on the obverse - to me it is a cull coin now. Collecting since 1972.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15437 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 04:37 am The scratch and stains on the obverse are very distracting. Keep it until a better one comes along. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4592 Posts	Posted 02/04/2023 10:44 am Learn: No mintmark is nothing special. It means it - along with 754,109,999 of it's BFFs - was minted in Philadelphia. It also has 1,774,020,400 close warm personal friends minted in Denver with a D mintmark. No US Cent minted in Philadelphia has ever had a mint mark except during 2017 to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the mint's founding. The P mintmark was added to other coins in 1980. Prior to that the Philadelphia coins were not marked. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
DiscoLover82 Valued Member United States 218 Posts	Posted 02/05/2023 09:37 am It's red and probably hasn't been circulated much, but that big scratch is indeed distracting, as are a couple of those big stains. It's prime hole filler or bullion material at this point, worth 2.5 cents (from its copper value) and that's it. And yes, having ' no mint mark' means it was minted in Philadelphia.
