LMC: Need Help With Some Coins...

John, thanks for the help thus far. IDK on the 39-s, I'd think there'd need to be more damage around it in order for a rolling machine to do it... Let's see what others say.

On the 44-s, I'd be the letters: PLU as compared to the others. There are about 4-5 listed that are like this on coppercoins.com but this one doesn't match any of them. Maybe filing of the field?

For the clip, here's a bigger pic:

The 1942-d fake clip isn't real. It looks like someone cut the coin. On a straight clip the metal should be moved like on your coin.

The 1939-S coin is damaged from a wrapping machine. The damage is always parallel to the rim.The 1944-S Reverse looks normal on your coin. If it were a doubled die, the devices would be enlarged.



The 1956 is just how they all looked that year. Another normal coin.
The 1955 is a poor man's doubled die. Which is basically a very late die state coin. They continued to use the dies past normal retirement during the 1950's.

The dies show wear on all areas, not just the date. Take a second look.
Hope this helps. Always best to list one in in a thread. If someone is looking for that date, it makes it easier to find the thread again.

Wow, I'm speechless... Thank you for the education. I'm always looking to improve it. Thank you again! Now... onto searching! :)
