eagle1 Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 10/20/2008 7:26 pm Are there two valid locations for the mint mark on the 09-S lincoln. I am familiar with the position being more beneath the nine, similar to the 1920s San Fran mint lincolns, but I see a ANACS coin graded with the S more between the zero and the nine. What is the story behind the placements for this coin? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

eagle1 Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 10/20/2008 7:38 pm Let me clarify. The S is usually more under the zero. The example I am referring to has the mintmark between the first nine and the zero. I am just not sure which is more common, or authentic? Report this Post to the Staff

And since there were a lot more obverse dies used for the 09-S than for the 09-SVBD there are probably a lot more than two valid positions. Report this Post to the Staff
eagle1 Valued Member United States 94 Posts	Posted 10/21/2008 6:46 pm Great illustrations. I am more familiar with position #4, and prefer it for its uniqueness. The example I saw was #1. Thanks again! Any sense as to the distribution of these positions? Report this Post to the Staff
