    1955S Lincoln cent RPM?? Identification help

    I have this 1955S Lincoln cent which looks like something is going on with the mint mark. I haven’t been able to match it to any documented RPM’s unless I’m missing something. So I have included a bunch of pictures to look at. I did also notice it look like something is going die clashes on the reverse of the coin.

    Thanks in advance for looking

      I can see the photos but I did get an error that I exceeded the maximum amount of photos. I kept deleting them until it allowed me to post but may have deleted more than nessesary. How many is the max amount?

              Hello RGuined,
              I downloaded your photo and blew her up. Always cut your photos to 1200pixX900px. Then salect medium when only adding a photo or two. They are clear thank you.
              Where do you see an RPM? I do not see a Re Punched Mintmark on this coin.? 1955-S_Coneca.jpg

                Hi, eaxtellcoin,

                Thanks for your response, I appreciate you! I thought maybe I was seeing a split serif on the upper right of the "S". and the extra material in the lower portion of the "S" with a shadow of the in the middle of the mint mark. That's why I mentioned I thought something was going on there but looks like it's not.

                I'm still pretty new at this and learning a lot from folks like you on this forum. Thank you for the clarification and input on prepping the photos. My new scope arrives tomorrow and hopefully can see these things better. Light on my current scope can really play tricks on you.
