Americanamafia Pillar of the Community United States 672 Posts	Posted 10/05/2010 9:50 pm I am not looking into buying this, just more in to learning. Is this mint mark added, or is this a normal location for this mint mark. Just trying to broaden my knowledge for myself and any of the other newbies out there. http://cgi.ebay.com/1909-S-Lincoln-...em3cb12003e2 Report this Post to the Staff

There is more than one good mintmark location. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
troy1025 Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 10/06/2010 09:21 am It is very possible the mint mark was added at a later date. With the most popular coins counterfeits do exist. I have seen some where the mint mark was cut from a coin then attached to another to make it more valuable. In that type of counterfeiting you wanna look for heat marks, discoloration around the mint mark, also (like this coin, but not saying it isn't legit) a buildup of grime around the mint mark. It could be leftover flux from the weld. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 10/06/2010 11:01 am The mint mark looks good for the year but the position and "work" around it would definitely deter me from making the purchase.I finally got my 09-s this past summer and made sure it satisfied any possible suspicion I could have.

That one looks o.k. to me, one of the locations seemed to be like that. Report this Post to the Staff
