the superman tv show was very popular at the time and it is believed a mint work engraved it on the chest instead of the normal S mint mark as support for the show which he was a avid fan.

CoinCollector2000, I seen that in the Cherry Pickers Guide and been looking since... There is a DDO with engraved feather tails also with the S worn out more that one is worth alot more.... |

From how it look I don't believe the "S" was engraved into the die. It looks more to me like something, a pice of lint, string, or even a metal shaving, was on the die blanj when it was was hubbed. A "strikethrough" during the hubbing and it was impressed into the die blank.

I said I was going to hunt for one of those at the next coin show I went to....and I did....and I told my husband to search for one, too. At a show on Sunday, I ran into two friends from my local club and they each had one for sale.... I got them both.  I want to thank OcalaFlorida and Coop for posting such excellent photos. The surfaces on those coins look pock marked and I think I would have passed on purchasing the coins without having seen the photos posted here. |
