. V V

This is a variety that flies under the radar for most collectors. BJ Neff discovered this one and it is only the second inverted MM for the Lincoln cent series (1910s RPM-003 is the other)
The mint worker that placed the MM on the die turned the punch upside down. V V LINk to S mint mark styles .
I feel very lucky to come across this coin from an original roll. Thank you EDtheLorax.
There were multiple coins in the roll but this is the nicest and thought I would share.

I forgot to add that the machine producing these, stained the coins with grease/oil. It shows up on the images at PCGS pretty well and is on most of mine as well.

Thanks for looking. Cliff

Thanks Paul.
I didn't really have high hopes when seeing the spots on the end coin. But it turns out that was just a precursor of good things to come.

I forgot to mention that it is Mid Die State (MDS), Stage B

Thanks, Daniel and sorry about the abbreviation ave13co. I get in a rush sometimes and forget newer members may not be as familiar with some abbreviations.

ave13co, did you get a chance to follow the links and see the different mintmark styles in use over the years?

Sorry I have been busy building a new deck on my house. The thing about retirement, for me anyway, is that I find myself more busy than when I was working. I will get to it and thanks for the reminder.
