mlzeiler New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 10:37 pm I'm somewhat new to collecting. I found this 1962 penny in my change today. What does the CO mean on the obverse? I've never seen this before. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34393 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 10:58 pm Well the counterstamp counts as damage, so it's worth face value unless you find someone who collects these things. In that case, I'd guess under a buck, but you should check ebay sold prices for other states (if Colorado) doesn't happen to pop up to get a better idea.

Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 05/02/2023 11:18 pm no mint mark means it was minted in Philadelphia, the CO in the 'square' is the state outline and abbreviation of Colorado.
