D. 1951 S wheat penny. Mint mark error? I’m a beginner so take it easy on me.

Asked on Oct 14, 2021

OK I'll try to be gentle. In order for error coins to be of real value, and I say this a lot on this site, they should be dramatic errors on coins that have little circulation. Your con has minor uniqueness and is well circulated.  As such there's no added value that I see. Actually the five seems to be filled more than the mint mark.This could also result from wear and soiling.

We kindly ask you to limit your request to ONE item, preferably with images of both sides. We specialize in items that are older and of some historic importance. Please include photos of both sides if possible.

We may use your appraisal on our site as reference for others with the same item(s). We'll never display your personal information and will remove all sensitive information from your submission. Please contact us for a private appraisal. View our privacy policy.

Most inquiries we get are about circulated coins made after 1971, and/or coins where people mistake post-mint damage and wear for "errors". You can expect us to affirm these are face value. We ask that before you write and submit such questions, to PLEASE first read through our existing postings and our "what it's worth" primers.
