The term is actually mint MARK, and cents without a mint mark are from the Philadelphia Mint. That's true even for current-date cents although Philadelphia has used a "P" mint mark on all other denominations since 1980.

Why is a 1944 steel penny worth so much and a 1943 steel penny is not?

The 1944 steel penny is valued highly because it was produced using leftover steel from World War II, as the U.S. Mint switched back to copper for the penny in that year. In contrast, the 1943 steel penny, made from zinc-coated steel to conserve copper during the war, is much more common, making it less valuable. The rarity and historical significance of the 1944 steel penny contribute to its higher market price, while the 1943 version is abundant and widely circulated.

How much is a double-etched 1973 lincoln-kennedy penny?

It's a common novelty coin, not worth very much. A 1973 penny is currently worth about 2 cents for its copper content, and one with Kennedy carved into is worth as much as someone on eBay will pay for it.


How much is a 1943 penny with no mint worth?

If it's a 1943 steel penny, it isn't worth much...a few cents if it's circulated, or a little more, maybe 50 cents if it's uncirculated. If it's a 1943 copper penny take it to a reputable coin dealer as fast as you can get there. HOWEVER, I can basically guarantee you that it isn't a 43 copper penny, because only about 10 are known to exist. If it's silver in color, it's a steel penny. If it happens to be copper in color, have someone check it out, BUT, it's likely a fake if it's copper.
