Re: Lincoln cent 1976 PROOF S over reversed S
I have to admit, I am a bit confused about this one. I know Paul is way over my pay grade on coins, so I am aksing for help in understanding what I found when looking into this:
That lincolncentresource.com website says from 1952 to 1974, the San Francisco mint used the Tall S on their cents (MM-008), so in 1970-S the Tall S was used and should be what is on Eva's coin.: The site has the Tall S and Blob S (mm-009) both pictured under their 1974-S cent listing b/c both mm-008 and MM-009 were used that year.
Then I combined the pics from the website and the pics Eva posted:
That pic of the Tall S from the website looks very different from what is on Eva's coin. And the MM on her coin seems to have the same features as the Blob S:
I also note the Tall S has the loops of the S open (and ant could crawl inside). But eh Blob S is "closed" and the opening is raised up off of the surface (the ant would need to step up and then squeeze inside).

Re: Lincoln cent 1976 PROOF S over reversed S
From what I understand, is going on is that Eva found on The Lincoln Cen Resource that the coin she has is referred as an MMS-009. For 1974 both the Proof and business strikes had the MMS-009. Next, the 1975-1979. Since the San Francisco mint stopped minting coins for circulation in 1975. Eva's 1976-S is an impaired proof coin, thus making Eva's MMS-009 a normal 1976 Proof coin.

Re: Lincoln cent 1976 PROOF S over reversed S
Makes sense DS!
How in the world did I see Eva's as a 1970-S and not the 1976-S?
Hey Earle42!
Yes?

Re: Lincoln cent 1976 PROOF S over reversed S
All you proved was your mint mark was normal as we stated, they just gave it a catalogue number to ID normal mint marks. So it's not a variety or special in any way.
