Question
QUESTION: I have a 2006 penny with no marking as to who minted it. Who would have minted it with no mark?
ANSWER: Matt, there is no way of telling since Philadelphia Coins bear the P mintmark, Denver coins have D and San Francisco has S. I would say we can rule out S, San Francisco is for Proof Coins.
So it's either P or D. Probably which ever mint you live closest to.

QUESTION: Would it be worth anything,or is it just a common fluke?
It could be worth some money. It would have to be authenticated which costs about $35, probably what the coin would be worth.
If you want to send it to me for inspection and offer,
