Dearborn Moderator United States 64158 Posts	Posted 02/22/2025 9:23 pm I have not noted any increased interest in the 2017's due to the added mint mark. Collecting since 1972.

Joshu - a Valued Member United States 415 Posts	Posted 02/23/2025 08:18 am 1976 Bicentennial quarters and halves look a lot more collectible, yet they are very much face value since they were minted in both 1975 and 1976. Same thing with 2004 and 2005 nickels. 2009 coins are all low mintage, and they will be collectible at a sooner time. Report this Post to the Staff
Erscolo Valued Member United States 371 Posts	Posted 02/24/2025 11:57 am There are billions of them, and some 350 billion struck in the last century, so even if the cent goes the way of the do-do bird, by no means are they scarce or even uncommon. Report this Post to the Staff
