HFricks New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 12:47 pm So I am newly interested in coins and collecting. I am sorry ahead of time if this is stupid but I have a penny that I wanted some feedback on. 1) is the date and mint mark thicker than normal? 2) reverse - E in the word UNITED. What are your thoughts and is it worth anything? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 12:59 pm to the CCF Nice photos of your CENT Nothing unusual about your cent, the date looks normal and that is just damage on the reverse. As there were over 563 million 1955D cents produced, there would not be too much value in a worn wheatie but still worth keeping Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19159 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 1:02 pm The thickness of the mint mark and devices (letters and numbers) look typical for this cent. Some circulation flattening may have contributed to their 'look'. The E in UNITED (reverse) looks like it took a circulation hit. The coin may have been cleaned in the past. Value would run between 3-10 cents. Some coin dealers might put this one in a '25 cents each' wheat bin. Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 02/06/2023 7:06 pm I agree totally with JimmyD, normal looking cent. Wholesale value of Wheaties is about 3 cents each. Keep searching! to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
