Found 1945 s wheat cent

ringding · Jun 28, 2008

I just found a 1945 s wheat cent. Is that a big deal? Is it worth anything? How about other s mintmark pennies? Are they similar to halves where they are proofs?

It's worth about the same as a 1945 plain.

About 3 cents.

In th 40s there were a lot of S mintmark pennies. I have a lot of 1944 and 1945. But it beats a pair of 1990D's though. :-D

I get about $4-6 for a set of 1941-1955 s mint marks on ebay. figure in fees and shipping and I clear around $2.50 a set. 15-17 cents ea.
