I have one that looks a bit similar:
1971-S-RPM??

Last time we discussed this, the Lincoln experts thought this was a punch defect (and in my case also MD)

I still agree with that assessment. Machine Doubling as well as a defect inside the lower loop. There is also Machine Doubling visible on the top of the 1 and 7 in the date that lends some credence to this diagnosis:-)

Thanks,
Bill

"S" are tricky because their scope is so small. You'll notice, after awhile, that many "S" have some kind of anomaly inside their serifs.

The marks above the lower loop of the mint mark are from a damaged punch. Examine several from that year and other denominations and you see the same damaged punch showing on most of the coins.
