X9 Mike Honcho Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 9:37 pm I noticed that the mint-mark on this particular cent looks kind of odd. I know that it cannot be FS-01-1908S-501 as listed in "The CherryPickers' Guide", as the above mentioned listing is "...the only re-punched mint-mark of the [series]." This cannot be a different variety described because there is not a straight line in the upper loop of the "S". I figured that I would ask here before I write it off as PMD. Thanks for your legitimate and relevant input in advance. Please everyone have a safe New Years, Mike H. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

CoinCollector2000 Pillar of the Community United States 2563 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 9:47 pm While I would like to say it is an RPM, I have to think that it is some corrosion damage due to the rest of the reverse. Also, I don't think the curve is right, but it's not far off. I'd wait for a more experienced expert to respond. Report this Post to the Staff
coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 10:20 pm Looks like coin damage to me. The RPM for that year is on the top loop. Edited by coop 12/30/2017 10:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff

X9 Mike Honcho Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 12/30/2017 10:39 pm Thanks you guys. I really appreciate your input and help, all of you. PMD and MD is the story for the most part this year for myself. I hope the new year is full of great findings for all of us. Report this Post to the Staff
