John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 10/27/2023 11:55 am Emmaloue, no mint mark refers to a coin minted at the Philadelphia mint. Your coin is a large date (LD) and it looks copper,but you need to weigh it to be sure. 2.5 grams +/- .10 grams mint tolerance for a copper plated coin and 3.11 +/- .10 grams for a copper coin.

I found this info on PCGS: "...There is absolutely no known die diagnostic that conclusively distinguishes 1974 Philadelphia Lincoln Cents apart from those made at the West Point Mint. However, West Point continued striking Lincoln Cents without a "W" mint mark until 1986..." https://www.pcgs.com/news/what-was-...-w-mint-coin Report this Post to the Staff
