It will have a S mintmark.
There were no circulation 1975 US cents struck at San Francisco, only proof coins. If you received a 1975-S cent in change, the fact that it's been spent destroyed its value as a proof coin. The good news though is that you haven't lost much. Even in its original packaging it was only worth a couple of dollars.
Proof pennies are only made at San Francisco. It's not a proof. It is just a penny worth a penny.
If it is a proof then it will have the mintmark "S". If your coin doesn't have the mintmark "S" then it is just a normal coin.
About $2.00 for average proof coins
Look harder. In 1973, Britain minted - * Two New Penny (Proof FDC) * One New Penny (Proof FDC) * One New Penny for general circulation * Half New Penny (Proof FDC) * Half New Penny for general circulation
2009 pennies were made in mass productions. Currently a 2009 penny is only worth a penny unless it is a proof. If it is a proof it will have the mintmark "S" below the date.
Yes
If its from the 170000 ! Iguess.
8-15-11>>> The first thing is the coin can't have a mintmark. Proofs were only struck in Philadelphia at this time and were NOT relased for circulation, less than 6,000 were struck. I don't know what makes you think the coin is proof, but the best thing to do is take it to a coin dealer.
There is no such thing.
I know that 63 years may seem old to someone in their teens or even twenties, but this penny is just a kid numismatically. Unless it is a proof or high-grade uncirculated coin, it is worth about 3 cents.
