cterry56 New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 02/26/2026 03:52 am Here's a 1974 S mint mark, but it looks like it struck over a 8. Also there's doubling on In God We Trust. On the reverse side Doubling on the monument pillars and States. Thank you for your comments. cterry56 * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * * Edited by Staff to Add Year and/or Mintmark and/or Denomination to Title.

-makecents- Pillar of the Community United States 8730 Posts	Posted 02/26/2026 08:26 am The mint mark issues are due to the reuse of an old mint mark punch from that had been used back in the 1940's and 50's and was brought back for some reason for use again from 1974 to 1979. Here is a link to explain it in detail. http://varietyvista.com/Mystery%20o...%20Punch.htm -makecents- Report this Post to the Staff
