What is the value of an uncirculated Philadelphia minted cent? |
Answer
No real value to them. Dealers usually throw them in the "junk box" at 25 cents or 5/$1
Answer
These are not cents. They are mint medals struck on cent blanks. Originally they were used as placeholders when the hapless SBA dollar was discontinued. The Mint had zillions of plastic holders with six slots but only five denominations of coins to put in them, and came up with the idea of filling them with the little medals. The medals proved popular so the Mint continued to produce them long after the SBA was gone.
