<p>[QUOTE="Nikki W, post: 1441298, member: 38060"]Hi everyone, my name is Nikki and I'm brand new to this site and coin collecting as a whole. I started a few months back because my Grandmother has been a coin collector since she was 11 and has really gotten me interested. She doesn't know too much about newer coins however and can't really help much with what I've found so I was hoping you guys could assist me a little better. I happened to find a 2004 Denver mint penny that appears to be a proof penny. It's got a totally different color (almost goldish) and a mirror like background. It does seem to be missing that "frosty" type texture everyone talks about but it has the extra detail and looks identical to the proof penny my grandma has in one of her sets. So here's where my confusion comes in, like I said its from the Denver mint or so it says but I cannot find anything whatsoever online about any 2004 proof Pennys from Denver ever being made. I can only find them from San Fransisco. So I was wondering if this could be some kind of error....maybe the wrong mint mark or maybe someone forgetting to switch the die before making business strike pennies since it is missing that frosty appearance? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could have or do you know of a small number of proof pennies from Denver that year? Do you think this could be something of value? Thank you for any help you can provide! Also I don't have access to an actual computer currently so I'm having to use my phone and it's not allowing me to attached the photos I've taken but I will get them up ASAP![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
