I thought I'd go blind trying to ID this amazing variety!

I can see the "S"

Maybe it's a 1921 Plain, a mate the the 1922 Plain.

Revised - If you look REAL HARD there IS an S there.

Maybe this is the "broken S" variety.

Seriously the mints did a realy bad job with Lincolns and Buffalo nickels in the 1920s. It's the big reason why some nice coins in the era are so expensive.

I think I see an "S"

Buffalo nickles get knocked down a grade for strike....shouldn't early Lincolns suffer the same fate???

How can you 65 a coin that you can't read????????

XpipedreamR

Yes, there it is...plain as day!

I can see the S, though the resolution of the pic is very poor.

Along the "error" lines, I have a 1933 no S Lincoln cent in a PCGS 65RD holder - Think it's worth more than a '33-P?
