Hi all! Happy Father’s Day Came across this 1970 S Large Date cent in a lot of coins I bought while in Switzerland. What is going on with this mintmark? Looks like the top of the S has a die chip or damaged mintmark punch? In the lower loop of the S it looks like the middle bar of the S has been replicated three times? I am assuming this is an RPM and not a damaged mintmark punch, but could be wrong there. It looks similar to some on CopperCoins and VarietyVista, but struggling to see a match. What do you all think?
A coin I have looks similar to yours. I alway thought there was a die chip inside to mintmark. Both coins being struck with a damaged mintmark punch is a possibility. Note my coin is a small date, which had to be made with a different die. But yet has a similar mm.
