So I posted some pics. To me it seems like the Mintmark "S" is waaaay to close to the date, but I could be wrong. Also if you look at the "2" in 1942 you'll see the bottom of the 2 is bent upwards. Its kinda crazy . I've never seen a date like that. So any help I can get on this I would greatly appreciate. Report this Post to the Staff

But I don't see a circular scratch leading up to it. Report this Post to the Staff

Mintmarks were hand-punched on each working die until 1989 so minor positional variation is to be expected. Report this Post to the Staff

Looks like you have the tall S. Don't know if that makes any difference .... but it's fun to see the different mint marks. Report this Post to the Staff
