<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 2814317, member: 74863&quot;]No surprise. It was widely advertised and still is by dealers. It&#039;s the only cent that&#039;s ever had the &quot;P&quot; mint mark. Prices are outrageous and is difficult in my area to find them in change. It&#039;s new, so everybody is hoarding them thinking they&#039;ll be worth a fortune in a few years.</p><p><br /></p><p>The US Mint did not advertise this. They were struck with the &quot;P&quot; to commemorate the Mint&#039;s 225th anniversary. The Mint thought this was a good way to see how long the public took to notice the &quot;P&quot; mintmark. Not long. Since there is a bill in Congress to eliminate the cent one can only deduct this was a test to see if the cent would be missed. What do you think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
