Morph Valued Member United States 99 Posts	Posted 05/18/2021 12:58 pm The Mint Mark on this 1969 Lincoln Cent has a odd looking mint mark with an enlarged tip of the D. I could not find this on Vista Variety's or anywhere else could someone please weigh in on what this might be. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 05/18/2021 1:32 pm can also spend some time looking here and making comparisons. might need to give it an acetone bath though to get some of the crud out of there. Honestly though it's position on the coin really doesn't fit any of them to my untrained eyes though. http://www.varietyvista.com/02b%20L...%201969D.htm Edited by Big-Kingdom 05/18/2021 1:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21610 Posts	Posted 05/18/2021 1:57 pm Agree with the above. You can see where the tip of the D has taken a hit that flattened it slightly. If it was a variety, there would 100's of thousands of them struck and been noted by now. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 05/18/2021 8:58 pm Using a microscope to start out searching coins normally means people find tons of anomalous happenings/things on coins which are not collectable b/c they are not legit errors from the mint (which are what is collectable). Reading about what is a legit error at places like error-ref.com, varietyvista.com, etc. will hep maximize your time in learning of what to look for vs. looking randomly for something that "just doesn't look right."
