Questions & Comments
Simone : Why is there a small o, used on reverse of coins, in the oF .Its not all coins just some. Posted: July 1, 2024 10:07 am
Admin : On some of the older cents we know of die variations with small o large F, or lowercase o and uppercase F. Weve looked at all the 1937 D cents we have on hand and even photos of those online, and cant specifically see what you are speaking about. Is this for a 1937 D cent, or some other coin? Thanks again for posting. Reply posted: July 1, 2024 10:18 am

How much is a 1969 D Penny worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 25 cents, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $18 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1969, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
