Are shield pennies worth a look?

Hummm I have more than 1 of these in MS67 RD books at $15,.000 oops almost 2 billion of these. That's odd. But of course they were machine punched, not 1 at a time with a die and mallet

Is a 2018 penny hard to find? I just can't seem to find one.

 

I do not believe so.

 

Sorry, more specifically, without a mint mark.

 

Probably not for people covered by Philly. "New" circulation coinage takes time to travel the states. It's reliant on human behavior and it's not like people are walking around with extreme amounts of change in their pockets nowadays.

 

Not at all, I'm sitting here right now, found 50 at least. But finding these new coins that look perfect, now that's a challenge! This new metal combination scratches so easily, cheap stuff!

 

That’s our government!! Make money cheap but tax double for having it!

 

@David Post while your searching don't forget your US Mint issued gift, 2017 P....which carries the P mintmark on a US cent for the ist time in modern history.. Find one before they are all gone...

Just skimmed the website. Didn't realize people had trouble finding those 2009 commemorative coins. Come to think about it, I've only found the first three in the series.

 

I have only found the “D” of the first 3 varieties. That 4th one is a real pain to find.

 

How many are there?

 

327,000,000 about half as many as the other varieties.

 

Didn't your Red Book come in?

 

Yes, it has and I love it but right now, Im watching my Steelers pounce all over the Chargers, lol. And chatting with you folks.

 

I just googled it while not watching the Steelers.lol

 

Lol, I'll check the book after the game.

 

I don’t like all the spots that show up on them.
