<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrgo, post: 157023, member: 6181&quot;]While roll searching yesterday I found a penny that was otherwise normal except for the mintmark. </p><p><br /></p><p>My camera has no macro mode on it (surprising how it was one of the more expensive ones back in the day..) and the best shot I could even get with it wouldn&#039;t show in detail the little mintmark I&#039;m talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first glanced at the penny I thought it was a 1963S, but when I pulled out my 30x loupe to look at it it looked like an S over a D or something. It&#039;s very strange.</p><p><br /></p><p>What it actually looks like is a flattened D in back with a small D tilted at a 45&#039; angle in the very top right.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is a quick drawing I did in Photoshop about what it looks like:</p><p><img src="http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/6538/weirdmintmarkzb2.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really apologize for not having any actual pictures of the mintmark, but I know my digital camera can&#039;t focus on anything less than four inches away sadly. I can hardly get a detailed picture of a coin, let alone the small itsy-bitsy mintmark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe there&#039;s a photo on the web or that someone here has with a coin with the same issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
