Justice41ca as a consolation prize if you can identify the variety of this 1928 S Lincoln Wheat cent within 48 hours of my posting you win the example shown. Do your homework on Lincoln's and good luck.

Sorry have been working crazy number of hours. My Brain is fried. You said I have 48 hours, but I don't know what the next days are going to be like. I was going to be wrong on the last one. But here is what I found, and I will try and check back before the 48 hours is up. I want to say it has to do with the "S" if that's the case I am in trouble. I don't think that is it or you would have taken a picture so I could see the "S" better. As it is, it looks like the... Large S ... Large mintmark variety. or it could be the Small "s" Small mintmark variety..... I am sitting here  because can't tell. I don't think you wanted to know that David Lange calls them "mushy" Maybe what Variety Vista has listed Or "Flat foot to G" in God. Or, "Deep cut N" of United. Don't worry about if I am wrong, I can't get the hang of large/small dates either. But I thought it was really nice you wanted to give me a chance. I just don't know. Congrats on the over 1000 by the time you have another contest who knows I might be able to get it right.... Got to get a few hours' sleep. Would you do me a favor? Tell me what you were looking for. I listed everything I found.

O.k. I think I might know what you're looking for. But in the meantime. Why do they call it a broken O? I don't see a broken O. God am I ever going to get this, lol.

 Final Answer: Lincoln Penny also known as Wheat centObv Known as the Large S variety Rev Known as Wheat variety. I have looked everywhere. I don't have the Cherry Pickers Guide; I am sure I missed something. I have nothing else. so, Tell me the Answer Please. Don't know if it will help since I can't see the broken O. This was fun though. Thank you
