    Yeah. Wait. One thing. How can tell if it's not a "D" that's missing?

    The plural word for Penny is Pennies not Pennys

    This error is on proof coins, which are made in San Francisco and should carry an S. If there were a similar error on a 1990 penny made at Denver (which are business strikes), it would be impossible to tell the difference between it and a normal Philadelphia penny with no mint mark.

    That is a normal business strike Cent. No Mint Mark means it was Minted at the Philadelphia Mint. They did not use the P Mint Mark on Cents until this year.. 2017

    Just run of the mill stuff Imma. The 'no s' refers to a proof strike coin, of which yours is not. Proof coins are struck from highly polished dies and struck with extra pressure and will exhibit highly polished (mirror like) fields and frosty devices. They are stuck more than once to bring up a high relief. Even an 'impaired' proof (one that has been in circulation) will still exhibit these characteristics and is clearly recognizable. Happy collecting, keep up the search, and welcome to the forum. :)

    2017 is the only year the Philadelphia mint used a mintmark on cents. If you have one of a different year, you can post pictures to see what is going on.

    I'm not sure that you can I think the only way you would be able to tell is if you had it a cracked die,or some kind of error that another Penny came from San Francisco mint with the same error.

    I would be very interested I'm just not sure if how that works as far as purchasing them from you you might have to go to the sale part
    of this on the forum and post them there.
