Found what I think is a strange Lincoln cent today posted by wmfielding

Did wheat pennies not stop with 1958?

 

Today while sorting some of my wheat cents I came across a 1959 no mint mark wheat cent. Is this a mint error or am I wrong in thinking all Wheaties stopped in 1958?

Any help would be helpful.

Happy collecting and may God Bless...Mike

I found an odd Wheat cent, too. See my newest post.

 

Best of luck

Mike, A few 59D Wheaties exist and are quite rare, not sure the existance of the 59 no D mintmark . Good luck on authenticating !! Rich

Mike, I forgot to attach the link on my earlier post. I'm not sure if you will be able to directly access the above link, if not try cut and pasting. This article goes into great detail about the controversial 1959D Wheat Cent.

Rich... that article is a very interesting read. Just goes to show there are some unique coins out there, ready to be rediscovered.
