Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/29/2011 10:08 pm A friend of mine gave me a handful of hole fillers and this one was in the bunch. Was not familiar with the Large "S" M.M. on this year coin. FS1-013.6 was marked on the flip. Is that an accurate listing ? Thanks. Images are scans so not real detailed etc. http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums...1/28Sobv.jpg http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums.../28S2rev.jpg http://i1020.photobucket.com/albums.../28S2obv.jpg Report this Post to the Staff

murty Pillar of the Community United States 1353 Posts	Posted 03/30/2011 08:26 am Does the 1928-S Lincoln Cent - Large "S" carry any premium? Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 03/30/2011 08:38 am Yes, in higher grades. From G-F they are about 20% higher, and in VF-AU they are about 40% higher than small dates. In the different MS grades they can be as much as 100% higher (double value) than the small dates. Few of the major guides have picked up on the variety, but they all should eventually. The large S is about 19 times more scarce than the 1928S small S...so, out of every completely randomly mixed roll of 1928S cents, expect to find about three per roll. Report this Post to the Staff
Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 03/30/2011 09:46 am Thanks for the info and verification. I looked up the mintage figures on the 28-S. 17 million. So that would make the large S about 6% of the total or 1.02 million. Not quite under a million but not too bad. I think my math is correct :) Report this Post to the Staff

eddiespin Pillar of the Community United States 1547 Posts	Posted 03/30/2011 11:11 am What's the theory behind why these happened? It would appear the Mint was just experimenting with the larger mark in 1928 because it didn't carry over until 1941. Report this Post to the Staff
