twslisa Pillar of the Community United States 790 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 12:44 pm I was going through my coppers this morning (I've been saving wheaties, and also pre-1982 pennies for ages because my grandpa said to). I found this 1968 S(?). I'm having trouble getting a reflection free, clear photo of the whole coin--will try again later if you want me to. The coin is in reasonably good condition--some wear at high points, but nothing that says the mint mark should be mushed. The mint Mark looks to be an S but it's 1968S Lincolns. It's kind of blobby and seems like it's hollowed out around the letter, if that makes sense. Let me know what you guys think! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/02/2016 1:26 pm Looks like the mint mark and date had taken a hit. It could have been during circulation/damaged by a vending machine or coin wrapper. Ruins the value of the coin. But it is a copper coin if you are saving them. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/03/2016 4:43 pm I agree. The fields are not shiny enough to be a proof coin: Report this Post to the Staff
