Rosalita Valued Member United States 96 Posts	Posted 06/17/2020 1:14 pm Hi guys, I was noticing that the lower part of "S" mintmark on this 1945 S Lincoln Wheat penny is not fully apparent on this coin. Is this an error due to a worn die? Report this Post to the Staff

Going with the photos posted, my first reaction is post mint damage--a circulation hit, early in the coin's life. I could be wrong. Report this Post to the Staff

Please consider purchasing a pair of cheapo white cotton gloves. It's really difficult to see the area in question on your coin... can you get a close-up of the question area for us? Just lay your coin down on any surface, no need to hold it. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
