Girlinlove Valued Member United States 323 Posts	Posted 10/15/2024 12:24 am I'm probably wrong so I apologize....I did a lot of research on this 1944 Wheat penny..... says it's made of copper and super rare? This is what I found.... "A 1944 copper penny with no mint mark is a rare and valuable coin." It has silvery coloring and no mint mark..... Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 73658 Posts	Posted 10/15/2024 12:40 am Where did you get that information from? Just curious. If you can, post a link to where you got that information. 1944 Philadelphia Wheat Cents are only worth a few cents in circulated condition. They are not rare. Errers and Varietys.

Same with the 1943 cents struck on COPPER planchets. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15389 Posts	Posted 10/15/2024 06:46 am This is the common 1944 Philly mint cent with an alloy of 95% copper. The rare coin is a 1944 cent struck on a left over steel planchet that was used to make the 1943 cents. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19113 Posts	Posted 10/15/2024 07:05 am Agree with all above. The term ' no mint mark' when used with US coinage is pretty much a red herring. ' no mint mark' = Philadelphia mint. Report this Post to the Staff
