drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 5:11 pm Your second blowup of the S mintmark appears to be just a 180 degree rotation of the first. Not sure why you did that. I also wonder what you mean by stage B? Report this Post to the Staff
jungliston1 Valued Member United States 305 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 6:29 pm According to Variety Vista, there are 3 stages of the S MM for 1974 stage B was the split serif only which this one looks like. Stage C has a full upper doubling and stage A was normal. I rotated it to show a different angle if the upper part of the loop. Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 08/17/2011 6:40 pm The three stages would refer to a particular repunched mintmark made by a single die. The stage markers help identify repunched mintmarks as having come from that one die. I do not see anything listed in variety vista for 1974S repunched mintmarks. I also don't see anything on your coin indicating that it is a repunched mintmark. You have to look for characteristics of the doubling, THEN look for particular markers - not the other way around. I don't see the doubling. Report this Post to the Staff
