AnthonyCatucci New Member United States 17 Posts	Posted 09/12/2023 1:03 pm I've been searching here and throughout the web comparing my penny with others and I have no idea what it is. Is it pocket change or something special? I don't have a scale but if a large amount of people say it's abnormal, I'll get it professionally graded. Thank you for your help.

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 09/12/2023 1:11 pm I see a normal copper plated zinc Lincoln Cent produced at the Philadelphia mint. The cost of third party grading would greatly exceed the value of this coin, IMHO. Report this Post to the Staff

Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 09/12/2023 1:23 pm to the CCF! This coin was struck in Philadelphia, so it has no mint mark. The only year that a Lincoln Cent has the P mint mark under the date is the 2017-P. They added the P in 2017 to help celebrate the 225th anniversary of the mint. In 2018 they returned to a plain field under the date. The Philadelphia mint was the original US mint. Later as these so-called Branch Mints were put into service, they added mint marks to show where the coins were struck. The mints stopped using mint marks on any coins in 1965, 1966 and 1967 to discourage coin hoarding and collecting. The mint marks returned to US coins in 1968.

When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
