    This looks like an S that is inverted. I can't tell if it took a hit or is actually inverted. Thanks for any feedback. 1946 S Inverted.jpg

    Thanks Jim. It looks like it could have taken a hit too. I thought the lower part of the S looks smaller by design. Therefore, the question.

    There are 43 rpm's for the 46 s Lincoln cent and yours is 1 of them.....go to www.varietyvista.com
    Some of the varieties are pricy. So you may want to do some research and come back and post your find.;)

    When I go to that page I don't find the rpm's. A little more assistance would be appreciated.

    This is going to be fun. I have several hundred old wheat pennies I have accumulated in the last 70 years. Maybe 200+ S Mint.

    Well you never know. @paddyman98 turned me on to the "ghosts" and I have found about a dozen of them in the last few days. For 70 years I just looked at date, mint and eye appeal. I've picked up a lot of info from the members. Yes, good to go.

    @Paddy54 I appreciate the lead and links. There are so many and they look so much alike. And, I exaggerated the number of 1946 S I have. It seems that I only have 16. But, I think I will have to photo each one up close and then enlarge the mint mark and then I may be able to guess which is which. I will let you know. Thanks again.

    @Paddy54 I am starting on the 1946 S batch. I guessed the attached as RPM-036. If you don't mind, could you give some feedback on this guess?

    Variety vista should have a mint mark style chart . You can use it to compare what you have in hand to the mm styles.
