Tommyjet Valued Member United States 334 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 11:40 am 1940 S LWC, The mint mark on this coin looks odd to me. First the lower half of S is filled with no apparent damage. Second under magnification I noticed a little denticle sticking out and added an arrow to point it out. Opinions would be appreciated and thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

The little spur in the upper loop is similar to RPM-002 but I do not think it can be definitively attributed given the damage to the mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff

Tommyjet Valued Member United States 334 Posts	Posted 02/02/2016 12:52 pm Thanks for all the info guys. Odd coin indeed for me. I was on Wexlers site and see the possible RPM-OO2 inside the top loop. Just can't get any closer with the microscope. Die crack and chip is also interesting. I don't have the eye for that yet.. Report this Post to the Staff
