Dropped Letter?

joeykoinsjoeykoins Posts: 18,948 ✭✭✭✭✭

Hi guys, These recent 2020 and 2021 Cents are certainly full of many peculiar surprises. Esp. the 2020p I found earlier in the year with an Obverse Die Clash with a partial word, "E Pluribus Unum" below Lincoln's head. Found a few more die clashes on this 2020p Cent as well. Maybe, I'm getting giddy or is this a "Dropped Letter" S? What do you guys think? Thanks again :)

    Thinking you just got some pareidolia there. Plus where would that tiny S have come from?

    Whatever it is Joey it has the shape of an S.

    Well he did not say that he didn't find it in a septic tank so.... Maybe that is what the S is for, septic. ;)

    Doesn’t look like a dropped letter to me.

    It's a dropped micro S.

    All comments reflect the opinion of the author, even when irrefutably accurate.

    More like a dropped micro dot.

    Not a dropped letter error IMO. More likely has some crud on the planchet when struck, and gave imprint of small 's'.

    Just a Thought?

    The famous, "Superbird" variety? 1952s Proof quarter
    That "S". Did they ever determine what was the reason for the "S" on the Eagle's chest? :*

    Thanks for your help. Yes, your right, interesting story. However, sorry, I must disagree with Jaime Hernandez. or whomever came up with this conclusion about the S mint mark on the chest. Have you ever seen an "S" mint mark similar to this one on the Eagle's chest? On ANY coin? It doesn't even look like a full S?
    Neither does the so called "S" that appears on the Lincoln Cent I posted? :*
