Just want your input but does it look like a "S" mintmark between 5 & 7

I know there is a 1956 d and s..Could it be possible for a 1957-d and s

It's a 1957-D wheat

The one thing that you must remember concerning finding a new die variety on a wheat cent is that all wheat cents have been thoroughly searched hundreds of times.

I am not saying it is impossible to find something new ( I have found three new die varieties in wheat cents; 1946(P) DDO-006, 1915-D DDO-001 and the inverted S mintmark on the 1946-S), it is just very hard.

To be convincing that you have indeed found a new die variety, the coin in question must be in a higher grade and it helps immensely if you have two coins with the same die variety, with the same or similar die markers.

In this case, your coin appears to be in a lower grade and it is presumed that you do not have two identical coins. So, it is more than likely not a wayward S mintmark, but more than likely another form of anomaly.
