Could It Be? 1944 No Mint Mark Wheat Penny (Have 2)

I'm not entirely sure what variety or error you think it might be? There were 3 mints for 1944: Philadelphia no mint mark, Denver 'D' mint mark, and San Francisco 'S' mint mark. The only variety I'm aware of for 1944-P is the wrong metal (steel) error which is exceedingly rare.

The lettering looks normal to me for a circulated Wheat penny. Were you asking about the beard in the second picture?

Whenever I have wondered if I have found a coin variety/error, I've come to realize that if I come across another similar coin, then it is likely nothing noteworthy.

I appreciate the honesty. I haven't been collecting long enough to know if it's normal or not....that's why I'm asking lol and yes the beard in the second picture looks very strange to me. Please be patient, I am the newbie of all newbies when it comes to coins. Thanks again for all the help.

As the obverse die wears from striking many cents, the metal die face begins to slowly flow outwards towards the rim. That is why the L begins to creep onto the edge of the rim. Die Deterioration is nothing unusual, although there are many fake (or misguided) ebay sales advertising L on the rim as a valuable mint error. It is not.

If you want to search for minor rarities, the CCF forum is a great place to learn. I only started coin collecting last year, and I have already learned enough here—and via reading the many sites we reference—to acquire a few relatively valuable coins from ebay. I also routinely find minor modern variety coins by searching $20 of nickels every week, which costs me nothing but time. My only tools are an iPad, an $8 plastic magnifier, an LED bar flashlight, a $9 clip-on camera lens, and the many free guides on the Internet.

with above - you will find that Philadelphia was a bit lazy about adding mint marks. So with the exception of a scant few coins with no MM's they will be from Philly
a good example will be:
1965 to 1967 - all coin no matter which mint they came from will not have any Mint marks
the famous 1922 no 'D' Lincoln Cent
the 1968, 1975, and the 1983 no 'S' proof Roosevelt dimes

Agree with those mentioning these coins are PMD and circulation wear. Value.......maybe 3 cents for the metal.

I guess you have been suckered in by the youtube (and probably other sources) videos often with a computer voice saying the rare 1944 no mint mark penny holds a special place in numismatic history and is big money!

It's all hogwash
