This may have been struck with a new or freshly polished set of dies, but it's just a normal business strike. If it was a proof, you would see deep water-like mirrors that reflect an image back towards you. Cents struck in Philidelphia don't have mint marks, with the exception of the 2017-P cent. They added a P mint mark that year to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the opening of the mint. It was the first and only time a P mint mark has appeared on the US one cent coin.

datadragon Pillar of the Community United States 1648 Posts	Posted 07/10/2023 4:03 pm I agree with the others, needs to be a proof coin found in special sets to consider. In 1985 the U.S. Mint abandoned the practice of punching mint marks into working coin dies and instead, it began punching the mint mark directly onto the working hubs. However, the 1990 No S Proof Lincoln Cent was inadvertently struck by a mint state die that had been processed as a proof die. This occurred because the Mint had shipped a mint state die to the San Francisco Mint without the die containing the S mint mark. According to current estimations, there are only around 250 Lincoln Cents from this year that do not have their mintmark so its EXTREMELY unlikely Report this Post to the Staff
