My wife and I have been putting pennies in jars for 20 years. We finally decided to look at them. I think I found a s over d mint mark. I think it has doubling on the lettering on both sides. I am wondering about the ear also. I am truly a novice, but hope to learn. jmewrites Report this Post to the Staff

Second, I see shelf-like doubling which makes me think that you have common Mechanical Doubling (MD).

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 8:57 pm Note the motto. It is showing extreme die wear. The mint mark post looks altered and broken a bit. The only 'S' mint punch was used on San Francisco Proof coins. Edited by coop 12/11/2018 9:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 75322 Posts	Posted 12/11/2018 11:15 pm There is also a Die Deterioration issue going on "IGWT", do to a worn die, from striking planchets at the U.S. Mint. This happens, when the die starts to age and slowly breaks down. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

Panther Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 12/12/2018 3:26 pm Don't stop looking. I saved pennies in a 4 foot long 4" PVC pipe. After 20 years I finally filled it up. I figure about 12,000 pennies. Dan Report this Post to the Staff
