jdh New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 12/31/2009 10:26 pm Hi Everyone, My first post :-) I found a 1963-s Lincoln Cent a couple days in a roll I was searching. Has anyone else run across this kind of thing (non-existent mint mark on low-value coin)? I can only think that someone was perfecting his craft before tackling a coin of value! Here's a photo (best I can do with my old camera). The coin looks like it spent a while in a gravel parking lot, and the mint mark itself is a little crude (skinny and low tails, taller middle). Cheers, JDH Report this Post to the Staff

jdh New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 01/01/2010 10:13 pm Thanks for the opinions. I tried to get a better photo of the date and MM, but my camera is just too crude. The reverse is unsurprising (Lincoln Memorial). I think it's either a 1969-S, as biokemist6 suggested, or a 1963-D that's been turned into an "S". The thing is so bashed up though that it's hard to tell. Either way, it's a conversation piece for me and my children. If I ever get a better photo system, I'll post a clearer photo.

Terror Of Zanarkand Valued Member United States 317 Posts	Posted 01/01/2010 10:54 pm I'm going to say altered or chewed up 1963-D. Looks like it is from the pre-1969 hub. Still an interesting find though :) Report this Post to the Staff
