After finding over 25 no mint mark 1944 cents I finally get a one with a mint mark and it is San Francisco. This one has a slightly higher value and was made in one-fifth the quantity of the Philadelphia version.
Initially I thought I got a regular 1944 cent until I got home and looked closely. The S mint mark is usually more rare in wheat cents and carries a 50% premium in most low and high grades, the mid-grades are often the same value.
Here's the stat...
Year: 1944-S
Mintage: 282,760,000
Metal: 95% copper 5% zinc
Value: VF-20
$0.15 or EF-40
$0.20

We have had a 1944 steel cent for decades and now want to sell it. What is it worth and how do we verify its authenticity? Thank you.

ReplyDeleteTo verify submit it at PCGS.com
$75,000 to $300,000 depending on grade.
That said many fakes exist and it will cost about $100 to get it authenticated.
