<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrgo, post: 152142, member: 6181&quot;]I was cashiering today at my store, I thougth I&#039;d do a quick search through the coins in the till to see if there was anything good I could maybe take to help start my coin collection. In the drawer of the till one coin caught my eye, a 1944 Lincoln wheat penny, so I asked my supervisor if I could have it in exchange for a normal modern penny I had in my pocket and she said &quot;go for it.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>The first thing I noticed on the coin was the &quot;L&quot; in Liberty seemed to have some line running through it which makes it look like &quot;Miberty&quot; even under a magnifying glass. I also thought I&#039;d look for the mintmark but there isn&#039;t one! There isn&#039;t a mintmark on the whole thing, let alone under the year of mint. It also appears that the coin never had a mintmark on it (it hasn&#039;t been scratched out or anything, the coin is in great shape for being 60+ years old and nothing has been scraped or scratched on it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>So what&#039;s up with this? No mintmark and &quot;Liberty&quot; looks like &quot;Miberty&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have any advice? Would be interesting to know. :hammer:</p><p>Here&#039;s a picture by the way:</p><p><img src="http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/5482/mibpennysa1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(Sorry I know the quality is bad, I took like 15 shots but this was the best I could get. I think I need to replace my old Sony P52 digital camera!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks in advance friends. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
