I have a 1943 U/C RPM Penny. A D over a S. Would this be considered rare.

It would be considered a coin that does not exist, there are no known over-mintmarks(OMM) for 1943.

I tried to blow this picture up and could not see anything because it became blurry. We'd need a nice closeup of the date/mintmark to really comment further.
Rest in Peace

jjper, If your camera can't get closer for a good photo of the mm, try taking a photo through your magnifier. That might help.

The more I look at it, it looks like a s over a s.

Looks like corrosion around the mintmark.

Either corrosion or die wear. It is not a repunched mintmark, and it certainly is not an over mintmark.

This is the best picture I can send with the equipment I have at the present time. The letter is a relief letter. Under magnification it does not look like corrosion. I am not experienced enough to rule out die wear. I have checked it may times, and I don't think it is a S over a S. It is a different shape than the bottom of a S.

You should take it to a coin shop around where you live.
