Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 10:12 am I won this coin on ebay last night. After the auction I noticed in the small print that the seller had is listed as a 1928-S "Large S" (FS-501 FS-0136) variety. I've done a little online research since then, but thought I'd ask the CCF group for opinions on the coin. PCGS lists it as a minor variety, so I don't know if it has any greater value than a normal 1928-S. I think it is a pretty Lincoln Cent, though. These are the photos from the auction.

Rollsearcher37 Pillar of the Community United States 1295 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 10:43 am Looks like a normal "small S" to me. Here's a link to the Lincoln Cent Resource, with pictures of the two different mint-mark styles for 1928. http://www.lincolncentresource.com/..._Styles.html Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 08/08/2014 10:48 am I did check out the Lincoln Cent Resource site, but wasn't sure which type S it is on the coin. Thanks for your response. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

coin5 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 04:30 am I found something intriguing. It appears to be a small s over large s 1928-s penny. Though I would humbly ask the coin communities interpretation on this particular subject. It was pretty exciting to find and still is. Regards. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 10:47 am Looks like Machine Doubling on the coin posted by coin5. The same push can be seen on the date as well on the 9. Another reference on the 1928-S Mint marks. Report this Post to the Staff
CoinHuntingDrew Pillar of the Community United States 4932 Posts	Posted 04/16/2015 7:59 pm Even though I could probably go back and find the listing, how much did you pay? This beats the one that's in my dansco, I wonder if they're relatively cheap in this grade. My 1909-present dansco has 1959-present in all BU except several dates, and my 1909-1958 is mostly all F-VF+'s, including the 31 S. Report this Post to the Staff
