1966keith New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/16/2021 09:27 am I have this 1969 S mint Lincoln Memorial penny and it seems to have a floating roof and missing the initials FG on the obverse. Here are a couple of photos. Someone please tell me what you think. I can't find anything on a 1969 S penny with both these anomalies . It shows me one or the other but not both. Help please Report this Post to the Staff

The Obverse is the side that presents the bust of Lincoln. I would like to see a much better picture of the reverse, that image presented is too small to see the FG inits well (if at all) You posted the Obverse image nice and large, but you left the side you questioned (the reverse) tiny and hard to see.
