This I believe is the 1944 d over s rpm but I wanted to have you guys look at it as many of you have much more expertise in error varieties then I will ever have. So here's the pics let me know what you guys think it is.  link for bigger image http://img179.imageshack.us/my.php?...oseupoo0.jpg |

That is a D over D. the D over S is on page 116 of the 2008 Red Book. if you need a pic let me know. I will load it onto photo bucket. they are doing maintenance now or I would have already done it lol but keep looking they are out there you just have to have time and a lot of patients to look for them Good Luck Gary |

Its hard to see in the pic but its definately not a D unless it is flipped 180 degrees. the part that shows has a definitive curve to it the way an S mint mark would. I will see if I can get a better pic its hard to get them clear when they are blown up that close will have to do some tweaking on my digital camera.

What are the chances that there could be another D/S variety?  I'm not saying this is a D/S or not. Just a question of the possibility of another type. Edited by thingee

Hard to tell, but it does look like if anything a D over D. The backside is to flat to be an S.

I am thinking the same as thingee that it may be another variety of D over S because under a loupe the mintmark underneath has a very distinctive S curve and shows the serif at the top of the S right at the top left corner of the D. I am still trying to get clearer pics to blow up havent been able to get a good shot that will blow up without being very grainy. I dont know if it is worth sending into anacs to get it attributed or not tho.

This coin is too damaged, and the photos too small to tell anything about what it is. Chances that it is one of the known D/S varieties - none. Chances that it could be a D/D RPM - decent. Chances that it is a yet undiscovered D/S variety - very, very remote. Thing is, people have known of the D/S varieties for decades and millions of 1944D cents have been closely observed since then. If there were a third D/S variety chances are very good that it would have been found by now.

Definitely a D/D. I believe there are 2 types of D/S and I have, unfortunately the less valuable one.

I still don't see how everyone is so certain about this being a D/D. I don't see it. I see a small, fuzzy image of a dirty coin that could be damaged on the mintmark...not a definite D/D.

Still looks like coin damage to me.
Helpful hint, when trying to show an area better by pointing to it with arrows, make the arrows small and don't cover up the area immediately surrounding what you're trying to show. Often the area around an anomaly will make it's reason clear - but if that area is covered up, it's hard to tell what caused what we're looking at.

I agree. it now looks like post mint damage to me. not a D or S.

I didn't think it was d/s, but I have enlarged it enough to have the impression that it is D/D-NW. A larger, more in focus, head-on view would help. The extra indicators are distracting. IMHO
