(See below) and I was just curious on how rare it is to have the S mint mark? Thanks! * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

That said, even the mint has given up and uses penny. Second, it's been in circulation for a long time, and has seen a lot of usage and that shows in the wear and tear, dings, and such. Third, circulated cents from the 40s and 50s are not rare, they're worth maybe 3-5 cents each in bulk. Fourth, yeah, finding a coin from 79 years ago is pretty neat!!!! -----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
