1964 Penny no mint mark.

Can anyone help me figure out what kind of pretty this is and where it came from? And possibly how much it is worth.

1964 no mint mark wheat penny.
I found this in a roll of pennies earlier today. Looks to be in excellent condition.

I'm new to coin collecting. Only been at it for a few weeks.

It was minted in Philadelphia. Sold individually, I'd say it's worth from $0.05 - $0.10. I used to be able to buy uncirculated rolls of these for $0.95 each back in about 2005. Appearing to be devoid of any fingerprints, yours appears to be in exceptionally nice condition, which is a big plus to someone looking for an individual example of that year.

 

Not a wheat penny, since it doesn't have wheat on the back, but rather the Lincoln Memorial.

Welcome to CT.
Get yourself a red book, but ignore the pricing.
It doesn't have to a new one, as it has a lot of good information.

Here are some basics

Wheat cent (1909–1958)
Lincoln Memorial design (1959–2008)
Lincoln Bicentennial cents (2009)
Union shield reverse "Shield cent" (introduced 2010)

Mint Marks for Cents
D - Denver Mint
S - San Francisco Mint
No Mint Mark - Philadelphia Mint. But they did add a P in 2017 and only for that year.

I knew that I got it mixed up with my 1936 S wheat penny I found. I was tired and writing about the wrong one. Oops

 

Thanks

 

Agree very strongly with @dwhiz post. This book is the best $10-15 a new collector can spend on the hobby. An edition a year or twoold is still useful and if you get lucky, it will only be a couple bucks

 

Agree 110%. The previous year copies are usually available at overstock stores for pennies on the dollar. The relevant information remains unchanged. I used my 1977 dated copy until just this last year.

 

That is a well struck penny. A real keeper in my opinion.

 

Thanks everyone for your help.

 

Save that one for your album.

 

A very nice coin...looks like one that could have been liberated from a Mint Set...Spark

 

That's what I was thinking. I lucked out

 

so my husband has a roll of pennies that look like that and have been kept in a plastic tube never used what would they be worth

 

Can you see what year and mint they are from?
