FOUND this 1964 D Lincoln Penny in pocket change It has two different mint Mark's D & S and appears to have some lip doubling, hot lips variety. The coin has some damaage but not where errors are located. Could this be real? I never heard of two mayor errors on a single coin before. Your opinion would be appreciated.    |

The s on the rim looks like it has the flat top and a serif on bottom.
I'm not to familiar on this errors but what kind of damage can make a S mint mark that good but you can see it's not contain on BRIM but the shape of THE s continues its form to the surface like if it was punched.

Can't be a D/S because OMM's (over mintmarks) stopped in 1955. John1  |

That S shape gouge on the rim is way too big to be a MM . I do not see doubled lips . I guess that's for the new wave doubling guys .  |

I agree that's damage on the rim, no way a mintmark punch can show up there. I do not see any doubling either. The only "D & S DMM" is on the 1956-D cent, and it is highly contested: http://www.doubleddie.com/921576.html |

I can't help to notice two things... the fingerprint in the field in front of Lincoln's face and the fact you are holding your coin. Lay your coins down on a flat surface to photograph and minimize your holding of coins. I would suggest you invest in a pair of inexpensive cotton gloves available from anywhere that has hobby materials. It's the oils in your skin that causes permanent marks on coin surfaces, and once there, they cannot be removed.

The 'S' mintmark was not used between 1955-1967 because the San Francisco mint was closed down until 1965. None of the 1965-1967 coins had mintmarks. So the 'S' mint appeared again in 1968-1974 on Business strike coins, and 1968-S forward on Proof coins.
