Where is the mintmark on my bronze coin? The Heaton Mint was requested to produce supplemental quantities of 1912 pennies, amounting to 25.8% of production. The Heaton and King’s Norton mints produced supplemental pennies for the dates 1918 and 1919, accounting for only 4.2% of production in 1918 and 4.4% of production in 1919. These mintmarked coins are highly sought after, especially 1918 and 1919. EF or better specimens are extremely scarce, but low grade specimens are pretty easy to locate. You can find the “H” or “KN” to the left of the date, as seen in Figure 2.
