I was looking through some wheats recently when I came across a 1946-S with very strong ghosting on the reverse. The coin displays some very weak details, including some letters on the reverse and the 46 in the date. I soon found another with similar (not quite so extreme) ghosting, and looking closely they seem to have several common characteristics, including weakness in the same devices and similar/same mintmark tilt and location. Do you think they came from the same dies? If so, I assume the bottom coin is an earlier die state than the top. Another photo of the first coin is shown below to emphasize the PIDT.

Try looking for die markers if you want to know if they are the same die, most probably have circulated off though
