    Hey guys, found this penny in a BU roll I bought. Very strange obverse I can barely make out the date or in god we trust, no trace of an s at all. The reverse is very strong though, not sure whats up with this coin, I don't think it is damage because the OBV barely has any scratch marks. I would love some help from you guys to figure out whats up with this coin and if it has some value to it. Thanks!

    I'm guessing struck through die cap.

    I was thinking that or it was struck with a die that was about to be put into retirement.

    1922 no D cent was a big hit! This one has no S but I doubt it would even come close to the price of the 1922

    I would keep it but would not invest anymore in it. IMO, I don't see any value to it other than your personal interest.
