Another odd thing about the US 1 cent 1969 S. They used two very different S's

small scurf ,large top of s large scurf, smaller top of s

Potentially a new variety a thin S and a thick S.

Mint letters were added to the dies by hand which explains the different locations on these 2 coins. Different punches were used. Not sure how common/rare this is. I'll have to check my '69 S's.

Oh yes the US mint has a history of using the wrong the wrong punch. Me iam looking for the small top one put in upside down.

Verweis : "Worldwide collection"​Potentially a new variety a thin S and a thick S.

​Closed or not closed, that's the question?

​The thick S looks more closed than the thin S (in my opinion) even though both from my view look closed.

Anyway with more pictures from other users of this variety would help answer the question.

I dont think you will ever get a new variety for US mint marks. You would have better luck with , like the 1967 curved back 7 and almost strait 7.

But that would open a flood gate witch there would be no return
