Lookatmyak79 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 02:32 am Have another 1970 A Lincoln Penny with the floating roof. What y'all think about this roof also how about the grade? Also the S mint mark, what is going on with That? Anyone else see extra lines? Or is it my eyes playing games with me. Again thank you all for your expertise and valued answers, they are greatly appreciated!! Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 03:46 am I can clearly see the attached roof (even if it wasn't, they don't bring a premium any more as they once did). The mint mark has a very small die chip sitting atop the bottom loop of the S (again, not remarkable enough to demand a premium). Not sure of the extra lines you mentioned. to the CCF!

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 03:51 am I still see the roof as attached. The mint mark looks like maybe a die chip. In all honesty I recommend people stop looking for the floating roof and missing FG it is a waste of time because it is a simple die event with little if any interest from serious collectors...IMHO. That said,collect what interests you. John1 Edited by John1 12/02/2022 4:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19146 Posts	Posted 12/02/2022 07:32 am Agree with all above. Suggest posting a sharp close-in pic of the date and mint mark taken at a slight angle--not vertical. Might help us see the feature better. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
