I got this 1929 penny today and the mint mark seems to be doubled. To my untrained eye it looks like a D over S or a doubled S, possibly.

1929-S?-Wheat-Penny

I have just read all posts on this forum about 1929 errors and see nothing about the mint mark.

Thanks in advance for any feedback! :)

Can you get a clearer picture of the mint mark up close?

From here it looks like someone stamped it on.

Agreed that better pic is needed of the MM, as it looks like there is something very un-natural going on in the surrounding area.

This is as good as I can do with my camera. I hope it's good enough. Thanks!

Is it indented around the mint mark?

There is actually an ebay auction going on right now with a similar mint mark.

Here is the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNSEARCHED-...em27d7d2bd44

Huh... someone practicing getting their 's's right to put it on an 09 VDB? Just a guess. It definitely looks odd.
