    Looks like an "S" to me.

    I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

    “S” and pic is too blurry to see a RPM.

    Edit:

    Original OP title was asking if the MM was an “8”.

    Title changed to: “1969 S 1 Cent is this an RPM ?”

    When you checked Variety Vista, which one did you think it matched? It's always best to post what type you think and why. Then you can get specific confirmation of feedback.

    You are checking the sites first and not just relying on us to do all the research on your pocket change, right.

    It appears to be a slightly damaged (PMD) mint mark.... Cheers, RickO

    I don't see it.

    But I make a lot of mistakes from two dimensional pics.

    Buy a few authenticated slabbed RPM's and doubled dies.

    They exhibit certain characteristics that don't differ all that much. An RPM is an RPM no matter the date or series.

    Doubled dies are a bit more problematic but same in theory.

    Once you understand what to look for in the actual minting process that creates the variety... you have the knowledge to look at most series and pick out an RPM or DDO
