@scoo, can you please add a well-lit close up pic of the mintmark? Thx. It looks like an S to me, but I can't see enough to locate the potential P.

And as well in honor of the Mint's 225th anniversary in 2017, pennies made in Philadelphia had a "P" mint mark for the first time.
So I will not be onboard with a "P" OMM

I did an enhancement of your image in Photoshop. It's a San Francisco 'S' mint mark.

As noted above, there were no 'P' mint marks on 1971 Lincoln Memorial Cents.

So looks like no one has read my many posts about OMM's stopping in 1955 according to Mike Diamond.
