Finally found First 2017-P cent

[Dozer D]

Got a $50 bag of cents from one of my banks that sells me their bags about two weeks ago. I'm about half through checking, normal finds at 12-wheats, 15% coppers, and finally my first 2017-P cent (actually 6-so far in half the bag). I've got a couple of my banks to watch for a full box for me, just like the 2009 cent series.

I try to find those but all i can find is 2017 d cents

I had a bag a few weeks ago with about 5 of them in in it. I didn't find a reason to keep them so back out into the wild they went. I should've taken a picture of one of those "take a penny, leave a penny" trays at a store, had about 30 2017 P's in it.

I myself have yet to find a 2017d.

I sold a few boxes of 2017 D on eBay- not sure why anyone wants those - it's the 17 P that's unique, lol. I haven't seen a 17 P yet. West coast: they don't migrate out here to often. Same with 2009 P Nickels - I've found 4 P vs about 6 rolls of D.

Are they going to put the P on them every year now?

 

[GB1]

no only this year

 

[Dannycoco]

There's plenty in NY

Why are they so special? I got a full box of them and just took it back to the bank...

They're special because this is the 225th anniversary of the mint. This is the first coin given a P mint mark (except for the wartime nickels). They go back to no mint mark next year.

 

[BuffaloHunter]

Oh, I'll start pulling them aside!

 

[Davers]

I wonder if they will mint 5-7 Billion of them.

Kennedy half dollars have had P mint marks for a while ...

My bank has been giving me whole rolls of the 2017P's for change in my cash drawer at work. Should I keep them?

True. I forgot about those.

I would keep them IF they are completely new BU rolls, at least until the dust settles down on the subject. I still only find one here & there but in rough condition, not BU.

I have received a few boxes of them during my normal pickups

Ive got a box under my bed. I decided to hold them instead of selling on ebay. Ive played that game before and its worked out well

I sold a bunch on Ebay; but once more sellers where posting up rolls for sale the profit margin became nil after fees and it wasn't worth it. I held onto the rolls that had the nicest enders and have just under a box left of rolls that I have to open in the event someone finds a worthwhile error to look for.
