yontan Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 7:16 pm Going through my stash of BU P.I. coins, I discovered 2 1944-S 50 cent coins, each with a different size mintmark. Neither one is misshapen. I know the mint made changes to the S mm in 1942 on some coins, but can find no info on changes to these coins. please look at the pictures and let me know what you think. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 18642 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 7:26 pm @yon, perhaps slightly different S-punches were used to create the mintmarks? I'm not seeing anything specific about this on numista, although I do note that there are two types for the '44-S relating to the Mahon Volcano. Here is a link to that information: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces15858.html "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Pillar of the Community United States 9374 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 9:03 pm There is a Type 1 and Type 2 Has to do with volcano details and where it touches the denticles. Doh! Spence mentions it too. My favorite album! Image hosting is provided by CCF. Thank you for your generosity!

yontan Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 9:42 pm I appreciate the info about type I and II. But the info I need is concerning the mintmarks. The coins were produced at the San Francisco mint, and are responsible for the mintmark used. If you look at the two separate mm you can easily see the difference. I just could not find any readily available info. Thanks to all of you for what you provided. Bill. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 18130 Posts	Posted 01/15/2021 10:50 pm Very minor die variety caused by different mm's. No extra value for equal grades. These coins very nice, with good luster. Report this Post to the Staff
yontan Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 11:27 am I had quite a time finding my post. Apparently it was moved because it is a world coin. For me and all my collector friends, Philippine coins produced between 1903 and 1945 are considered U.S. coins because the Philippine Islands were a United States Territory from 1903 until 1946. Well, at least I found it. Report this Post to the Staff
yontan Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 01/16/2021 11:45 am p.s. The " Red Book", A Guide to United States coins, has sections for all Territorial coins. You will find the Philippine section between the pages 1366 to 1395. Also, American coin prices can be significantly altered by a change in mintmark size or style, as evidenced by the 1981-S proof half dollar. type 1 S mm is $7.00, while type 2 S mm is $225.00. Hence my interest in a different mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
