<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2642400, member: 84179&quot;]Assuming the reverse is normally centered, the 1979 is probably from a misaligned die.&nbsp; Unfortunately, it has no additional value.&nbsp; The missing S may be a filled die (grease or other stuff fills the fills the recesses of the die), but I think it may be weakly struck.&nbsp; When the coin is struck, the largest area for metal to fill is the shoulder area of Lincoln.&nbsp; STATES is opposite this area, so if the striking pressure is set a lower or the gap between the dies is a little larger, the coin won&#039;t be fully struck.&nbsp; Some may disagree, but I&#039;ve seen weak STATES on a lot of Lincoln&#039;s and believe this is reason.&nbsp; Once again, there is no additional value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
