Skippy72 Valued Member United States 447 Posts	Posted 12/12/2018 5:07 pm Good evening everyone. I have a few of these coins that I can not find anything listed on it. To me, it looks like a D over D mint mark. But at certain angles it almost looks like a D over S. If you stare at something long enough, you tend to see what you want it to be so I am looking forward to your opinions. Its a 1983 D Lincoln Memorial cent, obviously. I am just trying to be respectfully formal to the forum and its members. Here are a few pictures, not the best, so I can take more if needed. Thanks everyone... Report this Post to the Staff
