[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1247772, member: 15929"]I too would pay several hundred dollars for that piece simply because they are EXTREMELY difficult to find! Better yet, I'd pay closer to a grand for that coin. The inverting of the MintMart is easy to spot since the serif's are different on the top and bottom of the S. For the 68-S Kennedy, the upper serif is straight with a split while the lower serif is a bulb. For the OP's coin, I definitely think its an inverted mint mark (CPG or no CPG since the CPG is NOT the Variety Collectors Bible but more of a publication of popularly "accepted" varieties within specifc coin series. There are MANY awesoe Eisenhower Varieties whioch are NOT listed in the CPG. The OP's coin has a triangular appearing serif whic appears to be common for that particular mint mark punch and that serif appears on the top on the one coin and on the bottom on the other coin which leads me to believe its simply inverted. Possibly a new discovery? I cut the Mintmark from each of the coins above and labeled them L and R respectively, then merged them into a single image.
