At a coin show today I purchases a really great 1909S Lincoln Cent that is probably a MS62 or thereabouts. However, when I got home and checked it our with a magnifing glass I noticed strange markings around the S.
So now my question is anyone want to guess what this is?
Could it be just a RPM? An S over horizontal S? A double or triple S?
A blob next to and in parts of the S? My imagination?

    yep looks like an RPM but would have to check my reference books to see which one.

    It sure looks like it could be a rpm, looks somewhat like breen #2058.

    Yes sir -- that is the 1909-S exhibiting an "S over horizontal S" listed in the CPG Guide as FS-012.3 and CONECA RPM-002. Congrats! Looks to be a nice one!

    This is what it looked like when I bought it in a 2x2.

    I was afraid to put it in set number 1 because of that funny looking S but now after what people are saying I guess I did alright. Got it real cheap. The dealer probably thought it was damaged by the mint mark.
