I found a 1908 s IH going through some of my old Whitman foldeers from when I was young.

The coin is probably EF 40 but the S is only visible under close magnification as I tilt the coin. I don't see how this mintmark would have worn with the coin being in this condition. I would post a picture, but I can't get a good one with my set up.

Is it common for these coins to have weak mintmarks?

Anyone know?...Thanks
