    Hey guys and gals I know I have been m.i.a. a while but if i could get some opinions on if this coin is 1928s or 1926s I would sure appreciate it.

    So I spent an hour on it... my gf spent at least 30 minutes. In the end I decided tput it in my collection book under 1928s due to the mint Mark's location. After looking at many different pictures of both 1926 and 1928. I found more often then not the S was up against the 9 and high when it comes to 1928s pennies. While most commonly with 1926s the S was more under the 2.

    I do have pictures however I only just took them to write this post. In so doing I found my phone makes it look more like a 0 or 1920s and I did not get any real pictures that do it justice to looking like an 8 or 6... in person however it looks more so like an 8 i.m.o.

    Thanks in advance to any who read and all who reply.

    You can't go by mintmark locations for coins like this. Mintmarks were hand punched into dies until 1989 and can vary in location.

    FWIW, I'll go with 28-S.

    I would like to see a close up of the date in the normal plane.

    Looks like an 8 to me, but in its condition it's just a hole filler in my opinion. Welcome back.

    I pulled up to pictures from different angles and both of them screamed 8 at me. Then I looked at the responses. I guess I'm not as old as I thought. It's an 8 for sure.
