Description
Gem 1909-S Cent with Blundered Mintmark
1909-S 1C S Over Horizontal S MS66 Red PCGS. When the mintmark was punched in this die, the workman got it wrong, first entering the small S sideways, then going back to correct his work. This blundered die was then placed in use, where an unspecified number of coins were produced. At least seven obverse dies were used for the coinage of 1909-S cents, suggesting that one-seventh the original mintage was this variety, amounting to about 260,000 coins. That would imply that this variety is even scarcer than the important 1909-S VDB cent. This example is fully brilliant with frosty orange luster and excellent surfaces. It is tied for the finest of the variety certified by PCGS. Add this one to your Set Registry collection.(#92434) (Registry values: P2)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 92434, GSID# 1804)
