More on the 1940 D/S Lincoln Cent, Multi Light Spectrum Pics

[ZagNut]

Ok I have hit the photo with every light spectrum I have available with my digiscope. The S atop the D still remains and in all the pictures it remains prevalent and has a higher relief than the background field. Yes I'm sure it can still be explained away but I think it deserves another look. I have taken it to 2 local coin dealers, one of which worked for ANACS for 6 years back in the 90's and both agreed there is an anomaly in the shape of an S and doesn't appear to be any type of damage pre or post minting. Could be like the 1980 D/S that was disproved, who knows? Take a look anyways and thanks

Just age. I have seen the same thing on other dates.

The "S" is too small to be a mintmark. Even "Micro S" punches were bigger than that.

Here is the 1956 D/D RPM 008, notice the size of the secondary D, no where near even a small D, it might just be how they removed the secondary mint mark thats all I'm tryin to say. I do get what your sayin too and you are probably right but I sent it out anyways so I'll find out in a couple weeks. I appreciate your input
