Hey all,

Just looking for some opinions on a cool find I made today looking through some pennies. I came across a 1914 Wheat cent and am having a little trouble finding info on it. I've read some things about 1914 D and 1914 S, but have come across nothing about a 1914 no mint mark. I'm from Canada, and possess no knowledge of US coin. Any help would be appreciated very much!

Annnd while I'm at it I also found:
1938 no mint mark cent
1953 D cent
1956 D cent

Are any of these special/rare?

The 1914 penny with no mintmark was minted in Philadelphia. Any Lincoln Penny that has no mintmark was/is minted in Philadelphia.

The 1914-D penny is one of the key dates in the series; the 1914-S is much more common. The other three--1938 (Philadelphia), 1953-D and 1956-D, as well as the 1914-P are all quite common and are not rare at all.

That said, it's always a nice surprise to find a Wheat penny! Even though the ones you found are not "rare" in the sense that they would be valuable, it is rare to find one out of the blue.
