1C - 2018 Denver Mint

When you were a kid, didn't you ever shinny up a tree?

Nothing in Ma. yet. Time to start looking for those RARE die cracks at the top left of the shield.

 

No, but hit my shinny on the way down a few times!

 

I had the will, but not the skill. I used the three-toed sloth method.

 

ha! i'm on east coast and still waiting to find my first 2017 D in circulation....

 

Got my first 2018D cent today in change. Very shinny!

 

I've seen a handful of each Mint up here in Wisconsin.

 

A handful of each.....Philly, Denver, San Fran & West Point? They must be pretty small buildings!

Yes even San Fran and West Point! It's just those 2 particular mint marks are invisible

 

is it me or does the beard look really weak compared to older pennies?

 

Soft and without much detail, terrible design IMHO.

 

I have only been in the US for all of 6 days of 2018, so no 2018 cents have come my way.

 

Well, for the first time in my entire life, the first circulating current year coin I've seen is a D. I live about 100 miles from the Philly mint and still have not seen a 2018 from there. My first 2018 coin, other than the proof S set, is a 2018-D cent gotten in change from a Jack-In-The-Box yesterday morning in Las Colinas, Texas, near the ANA Spring show. Nicely struck, only a hint of light fingerprint.

Now I'm back in Harrisburg. Let's see some Philly product. This is getting ridiculous.

 

No 2018's in circulation here in Baltimore yet that I have seen. It is getting a bit late in the year to be missing that first one...

 

Just got my first 2018 coins in change but no cents yet

 

Maybe 2018 Philly cents are being hoarded as "errors" because there are no mintmarks on them.

 

I ordered a bank box from my teller on Friday. It will be in on next Thursday. I'll let you know how I fare.

 

I have pulled 8 - 2018 D Cents. and a 1.75 in quarters. I will have to run to the truck and get them. I will post some photos soon.

 

No 2018 coins in southwestern PA, but 2017 P cents are plentiful. 3 out of 4 cents I get in change are 2017 P.

 

I have trouble getting the lighting right on these new shield cents. The quarters came from the same roll. There were two that didn't have some sort of die deterioration.
I will try to get some photos up tomorrow that show the deterioration.
