    I see a skull above the date, but I don't see a horizontal "S". I don't see a doubled die, either.

    I am not aware of a 1919S horizontal mm, but I would guess that being as damaged as it is, that it's possible the mm was pushed over from damage.

    ill post more. through a 40x loop its supper easy to see a horizontal s and a strong die break on the 19 but on the microscope its hard to see i should have grabed a 5led scope in stead of 8 lol

    Neither Variety Vista nor Wexler lists a doubled die for 1919. I see a possible die crack here which could have die chip attached. But doing some research for you I find no mention of a horizontal S. Although it's not impossible it's more likely improbable. And don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to burst your bubble on this. You can see more in hand than we can in any photos. Try this on the error forum as there are a couple of guys over there who specialize in Lincoln Cents.

    From the picture it's almost impossible to tell exactly what you have. In my opinion, it's a damaged D.
