Interesting Lincoln Cent Find 1939s Help

Hi All, I JUST found this while searching a box of cents from the bank. Could anyone tell me about it? The "S" is nearly touching the 9. Also, "In God We Trust looks" wonky to me, especially "We". The W and E don't seem to be lined up properly. Sorry about the poorly lit photo, I can post better photos tomorrow if need be.

Thanks in Advance!

For early cents like that, the mint marks were punched into the die seperately, so they won't be exactly the same from die to die. I have quite a few examples of this I have found while searching. I do see what you mean about the WE though. It almost looks crooked. Not sure what that could be though.

 

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm just glad someone else could see it, I though maybe my insanity was kicking in LOL!

 

Yea the W looks higher. So your sane, unless.........we might both be in trouble

 

Here are 3 different 37s with different mm locations.

Do these images over size your forum width?

 

Yes they do. Nice Lincolns BTW

 

Thanks EEW,
it looks closest to the second one you posted but the WE still looks different to me. Is it rare?
Is it a specfic varitey? I'm just so happy I finally found something out of the ordinary while roll searching.

Thanks!

 

LOL, that could be entirely possible

 

This photo is a little better. Is this a "rare" die? It's the first time Ive seen it. Any info about it would be helpful.

Thanks in Advance!

 

ive even found a 1953-s.with the 5 and s are touching..

 

Those photos look great in firefox, no scrolling.

 

Can you post a photo?

 

I'm sure your talking about EEW's photos. He does take some awesome photos.
