Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 02/27/2023 8:27 pm https://www.coppercoins.com/diesear...int=s&page=0 Possibly 1955S-1MM-007 The MM location is close to several this year. Thinking will need more than just the mint mark photos here. I'm thinking the MM punch was altered/damaged from use. May there be more markers to go by if we see the full obverse and reverse of coin? Thanks, Doug. Edited by Halo1st 02/27/2023 8:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/28/2023 10:27 am The inside left side of the mintmark is showing mintmark punch damage. But agree that it maybe a match for the 1955S-1MM-007 https://www.coppercoins.com/lincoln...ie_state=mds I didn't see this listed on the V.V site to on Wexler's list. It looks like a match to me. You might submit better images to the Coppercoins site? The light should be towards the upper right side to show the RPM better. It maybe an earlier die state of that die for coppercoins?
