Question
I have 1945 penny where it does not where it was made?
Robert, I'm not 100% sure I understand your question, seems like something was left out. If you were asking where the 1945 U.S. cents were made, the answer is that the ones with no mint mark (nothing under the date) were made at the main mint in Philadelphia; those with D under the date were made in Denver and those with S under the date were made in San Francisco. Please ask a follow up question if I didn't answer everything. Happy holiday, Jim Lawniczak
