Is this not a 1925 Philly penny and instead a 1925 S penny with a severely misplaced S? Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19251 Posts	Posted 12/13/2022 07:44 am I'm thinking pareidolia--perhaps a very minor 'disturbance' on the surface of the die in that area. Not a misplaced mint mark in my opinion. Others will be along to comment. Report this Post to the Staff
