    I have some pennies that have no mint mark. There's no evidence that there was even supposed to be one and they're from like 74, 64 and 96. Any ideas?

    If they are U.S. coins, they are normal and were minted in Philadelphia. Philadelphia cents don't have mint marks.

    Yep, all US cents minted in Philadelphia were struck without a mintmark, so I am sorry to say you have some normal coins.
    Keep up the hunt!

    And hopefully those errors aren't along the same lines as the Lincoln Cents without mintmarks.

    Even if they are then Waight can learn from us and understand more about numismatics.
