1942 Bombay Penny without I mintmark PCGS XF40
I’ve always been a fan of the 1942I penny without the “I” mintmark. It’s an easy variety to identify, and is scarce enough to be challenging to find but not so scarce as to be discouraging. It is also generally popular with collectors, and is one of the few copper varieties to have been added to the PCGS Set Registry by PCGS. I haven’t had an example in stock for some time (my last example was bought by a collector looking to complete his PCGS Set Registry), so I’m glad to be able to offer the coin photographed above, although it is in a lower grade. In any case, buy this coin if you’d like to close that gap in your PCGS Set Registry penny set. Or just buy it if you like varieties. Professional Coin Grading Service is the global leader in coin authentication and grading. With over 60 million coins graded and counting, PCGS is trusted by collectors, dealers, and investors to certify authenticity, protect value, and elevate market confidence. This is a direct conversion of the 70-point PCGS grade to a 10-point scale, intended to present the grade in a more intuitive format for newer collectors. It is not our personal opinion or an attempt at regrading the coin to a different standard.
