All previous cents without the P will be considered No-P varieties (SD-01). The major coin grading services have announced all No-P cents are eligible for attribution and reslabbing with special labels, for a nominal fee of $20.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is my 1923 No-P.

However, due to resentment by the mint director of the hiring of an outside sculptor for the cent design, he quietly directed the branch mints to insult the designer by using serif fonts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some research was done to determine the proper typeface for the P mint mark. This early prototype was recently found circulating in South Philly - oddly enough at Lincoln Financial Field, next to the home of the Phillies.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]582038[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
