Spence Moderator United States 34397 Posts	Posted 10/13/2025 7:51 pm @worth, can you please tell us the date and mint for this cent? I'd like to include that information in the title to help improve the CCF search functionality. Thx!

Worthing67 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 10/13/2025 8:15 pm I'll try to get a picture of the entire coin tomorrow when I have better light. It is a 1955 P. That is, in part, why it caught my eye. Thank you all for the insights Edited by Worthing67 10/13/2025 8:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
