1969 S penny

Found this searching through a couple of rolls this afternoon. I thought is was a decent find.

    When I was a kid (and even now) it was always a little exciting to find S mint coins, but most that are in circulation don't really have any extra value.

    But still neat to find...

  • Yeah, it's pretty beat up. It does make me happy to see an S.

    I didn't like the 1969 Cents. I didn't like it that they replaced the original hub from 1909. I know now why they did.

    It was hopelessly worn, with the lettering into the rim.

    Go ahead: Check the 1968 Cents and you'll see. Had to get used to the change.

    You are right, they are really close.
