<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Numismatist, post: 26215741, member: 142588&quot;]There is a <u>proof</u> 1990 Lincoln Cent that is lacking a mintmark that is rare and expensive, but many people think the business strike 1990 cents with out a mintmark are also rare and valuable. The lack of a mintmark on Lincoln Cent simply means it was struck in Philadelphia, the main mint. Before 1991, mintmarks were hand stamped into the die. Occasionally at a branch mint (Denver or San Fransico) they would forget to add the mintmark to the die therefore creating a error/variety. These mistakes are only detectable from regular Philadelphia coins in certain cases. In this case it is a proof coin, which in 1990, was only made in San Fransisco.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the real deal: <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1990-1c-no-s-dcam/93506" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1990-1c-no-s-dcam/93506" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1990-1c-no-s-dcam/93506</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a list of coins from Philadelphia that do or do not have mintmarks:</p><p><br /></p><p>Cent) no mintmarks for any year except in 2017 to celebrate the 225th anniversary of the Philadelphia Mint.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nickel) 1938-1979, no mintmark. 1980-present, mintmark added.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dime) 1946-1979, no mintmark. 1980-present, mintmark added.</p><p><br /></p><p>Quarter) 1932-1979, no mintmark. 1980-present, mintmark added.</p><p><br /></p><p>Half Dollar) 1964-1979, no mintmark. 1980-present, mintmark added.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
