Because no US cents carry a P mint mark, it's pretty certain that you have a mint medallion from the Philadelphia Mint. They're struck on the same blanks used for cents, but have either a large P for the Philadelphia Mint or D for Denver.
Mint medallions are included with uncirculated coin sets sold by the US Mint to collectors. However, the medallions themselves aren't really collectible. They don't have years on them so there's no way to tell one year from another.
Cents with a D below the date were minted in Denver. Those with an S were made in San Francisco, and those without any letter were made in Philadelphia. Cents are the only coins that don't use the P mint mark.
i have a penny ,the back is stamped ,the front is slightly stamped like an outline of the face , maybe 2 numbers ,very hard to see
This is a novelty coin not made by the US mint and has no collectible value.
If there is no mint mark the coin was made at the Philadelphia mint. It was not until 1979 that the "P" appeared on the penny. "P" mintmarks have NEVER been used on pennies.

The out line of the US was put on the coin after it was made and is a novelty item. It has no collectible value.
one penny
its a mint mark, the letter indicates where the coin was made P = Philadelphia, D = Denver
The worth of a triple stamped penny will vary depending upon its circulation and overall condition. It can be worth anywhere from $1.00 to thousands of dollars.
I have a 1980 penny with Martin Luther King Jr.s head stamped on it next to Lincoln's head and I have a co-worker who collects coins who says it is not worth anymore than a penny because it was not stamped at the mint. It is stamped not rsised as part of the coin.
