Fitz337 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 2:41 pm I found this today while looking through some recently found Wheat Cents, I'm seeing what could be doubling on the S mint mark. I'm not sure how the mint marks were done back then and if it could be done without affecting the date as well, so looking for input, DD or a PSD? Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 3:04 pm Just checked the three sites and only Wexler has a RPM listed for this year/mint. (Its a south) No match. I also feel it is coin damage. Looks like very well placed hits. (Not saying intentional, just well placed) Report this Post to the Staff

Fitz337 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 02/07/2019 3:51 pm It came out of a coin stash my Grandfather had. About 100 abs of pennies. Soi I didn't pay a premium on it thankfully. I'll be going through them for a while...and learning along the way. Report this Post to the Staff
Fitz337 Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 02/08/2019 3:29 pm I was able to get a better zoom with a different camera if you are interested. Report this Post to the Staff
Shirley Lodge New Member United States 12 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 10:06 am I too have some of these that have been circulated heavier than others. Never hurts to look! Report this Post to the Staff
cookiemonster Pillar of the Community United States 1335 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 10:17 am that would have to be two hits , one on the top left of the S and on the right , it looks like it might of been a rpm but the coin has been well used. take it to someone that can look at it in hand ( local dealer or coin club) for a better look if you want . good luck and happy hunting Report this Post to the Staff
Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 02/10/2019 10:46 am Nice closeup with good detail. Have to agree with Cookiemonster about circulation making it well used. It would take a much better grade coin to change the consensus about it being PSD. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.
