Question
I have a 1941s Lincoln penny with s mint sideways.Would this make the coins worth more and how much if so. Thank you Gary
Hi Gary,
if the mintmark is just tilted, it is no big deal. However if the mintmark is actually rotated 90 degrees do it appears sideways, that is substantial.
You would have to locate a dealer who speializes in errors. Try Ken Potter, you can google him for his phone and address. He is an error coin specialist and would know better than I.
I hope this has helped you.
Best Regards
