Coin is late die stage and just wondering if they re-engraved the mint mark, which in this case sits very high up, even higher than the date. Just curious. 1935-S Lincoln Wheat cent with very high standing sharp S Report this Post to the Staff

A part of the punch not normally seen. Combine this with a bit of wear to highlight the top and it does look like a small S perched on top. Sometimes when a mintmark is deeply and well punched it can look much different than it's brethren. This 1946-S of mine is a sans serif style mintmark but deeply and squarely punched so that it does not have the thin top curve that is normally seen. It does look like a totally different forth style mintmark for 1946 , but isn't. Report this Post to the Staff
