JimNWLincoln Pillar of the Community United States 908 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 6:53 pm Greetings, I am in the market for a 1909-s Lincoln Cent. At first, I was expecting to to see the date and mint market following the know 4 positions of a 1909-s vdb. After searching through the forums I found this post (https://goccf.com/t/149951&SearchTe...ark,position) that indicates the mint mark was added to each die and would vary with each die created. If anyone has any additional information on selecting a 1909-s cent, please let me know. I am currently considering a coin with the following date/mm. Thanks for your advice.

They really don't cost that much more, if more at all. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Edited by BadThad 01/26/2016 09:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
