Just bought a 1922-D cent with a straight clip on the Bay, and as always I looked at the seller's other items and spotted this little thing with the S way to the right of the normal position. Do not recall seeing it before, or anything that far out of position on a pre-1950 Lincoln cent. Anybody else ever seen it?

Interesting for sure.
Not to be a bigger pain that usual, but is there a picture of the reverse available?
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
CoinFacts has a couple that are fairly close

Yep! That's it! Just never saw one before.
I figured that for $7.50 it was worth it.
Good eye 👍
I have not seen one either- thanks for sharing the reverse. I thought the pattern of wear might be helpful

Not a Lincoln expert... is there any value to this "error"?

I have not seen one either. Now you have us doubling ours. 👍

Every denomination minted in San Francisco has some sort of problem.
Look out 1926-D. You have competition.

The mint marks were applied to the dies in Philadelphia, so it was probably the same guy.
I mean, you have to show the clipped '22-D too, why mention it otherwise?

Why Sean! Do you have a date and mint collection of straight clips also?
Will post a better picture after I get the coin.
