bjsturg Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 7:31 pm Hey, I came across this and would appreciate any help with it. 1) Light strikes all over the place on this coin. 2) Is there a 'S' mint mark below the Zero or on the side? Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94928 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 7:57 pm I'm thinking a well worn cent. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

bjsturg Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 8:26 pm Yeah, a 105 year old coin. I thought I was imagining thing when I saw the S under the zero. San Frisco/Denver mint are rare mints considering there was only 46 million made. I I am thinking that those are light strikes and that the 'S' mint under the zero may be polished mistake for the mm.

bjsturg Valued Member United States 70 Posts	Posted 07/13/2025 8:39 pm That coin you found on the internet is . I found that coin in a coin roll. The 'S' mark is in the same spot. Do you think it could be my imagination that there may be a 'S' on the zero side? Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10485 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 12:12 am Well it is a very worn 1920 S Cent that may or may not be a "woody". The "S" you speak of under the "0" is probably just a small mark or stain that resembles the shape of an "S". Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/14/2025 12:20 pm Worn out, but still fun to find. Keep for fun or until you find a better one.
