2017‑P Lincoln Penny • Only Year With “P” Mint Mark • Complete P & D Coin Set For Sale

This 2017 Lincoln Cent Set includes both Philadelphia (P) and Denver (D) mint coins — with 2017 marking the only year in U.S. history that the Philadelphia Mint placed a “P” mint mark on the Lincoln cent. This makes the 2017‑P a unique, one‑year‑only variety highly sought after by modern collectors. The U.S. Mint added the “P” mint mark to the 2017 Lincoln cent as a one‑year‑only change to celebrate the Mint’s 225th anniversary. This was the only time in history that Philadelphia‑struck cents carried a mint mark — a deliberate break from a tradition dating back to 1793.

Why was this done?

• 225th Anniversary Commemoration: The Mint introduced the “P” mint mark specifically to mark its 225 years of operation.

• A Surprise for Collectors: The Mint intentionally made no prior announcement, releasing the coins quietly to see how long it would take collectors to notice.

• One‑Year Type: The Mint confirmed the “P” mint mark would be used only in 2017, returning to the traditional no‑mint‑mark format in 2018.
