Hi everybody,

Its cold in Wisconsin, good time to look at coins. I found these in my stash.

I found nine 54Ds like the image below, only one can I see a faint image of the bottom of the D. The 55D, I have no idea. Its the only one I have like it.

Hope you can see what I see. I'm still learning how to scan.

Thanks

Moonshine

Any chance you can zoom in on the MM? It looks like you have a few RPMs there, but it could just be the shadows.

1954D-1MM-001 D/D/D North & South.
1942D-1MM-004 D/D Northwest
Your 1955D is a struck-through.
1949D-1MM-001 D/D/D Northeast and Tilted.

Nice cherrypicks.

Hi, Thanks for the comeback guys, I'm still looking and learning. Coppercoin, I thought that's what they are except the 55-d,I don't know where to even look it up; What is a strike through? Also you said the 49-d is tilted, That's a new one to me, Where do I look to see that? The 54-d, Are they that common that I found nine of them in the least amount of coin's I have of that year? Hope you can shed some light for me, Thats why I ask the pro's.

Thank's Moonshine

a strike through is where something like a wire from the wire brush or string lint dust anything that is on the die or plainchant will show up as a strike through

You don't look up something like that 1955D cent. It's an error, and those can only be vaguely identified by type. The rest of what you have are die varieties, and they can be identified specifically to each die. That's part of the difference between errors and die varieties - something I have been preaching for years. They are not the same thing.

Tilted simply means that the mintmark was not punched flush with the surface of the die, and it was rocked in the opposite direction to more deeply punch the other part of the mintmark to make the whole look even. End result is intertwined mintmarks, can't tell which was first. Tilted RPMs are one of the more common types.

1954D-1MM-001 is rather common. What's not common is to find examples that show both the north and south repunchings. Many show a faint haze of a shadow for the south mintmark because it wore away quickly with die wear. Examples that show all three mintmarks clearly are worth a small premium. In later die state the south repunching wears away completely.
