A1agrl Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 10/31/2024 2:09 pm Attached are three images of a no mint mark 1978 penny without the designer initials on the obverse. I took the photos at several different angles to make sure this wasn't caused by shadowing. But the initials a not there. Only a slight ghosting on the very top of the letters is visible.
