Can you get a better shot of the reverse? With how beat up this coin is, it could be PMD that moved the "A" and "M" together. The left leg of the "M" looks a little mashed from that photo but I can't tell. |

Post two pictures:
A 1992 adjacent to your coin
A 1994 adjacent to your coin
I think that what we are looking at is a well placed hit that distorts the digit enough to appear as a 2. But based on placement I think it's a 4 based on the placement of the crossbar. An overlay would equally suffice.

Notice on the 2 about half way up there is an S stamped on the 2 and if you look closely youll notice how the upper curve on the 2 goes under the S and then bends over to rhe 9 and forms the top half of the 2. Also the adjacent 9 shows a smeared and scratched top edge that drags over to the 2 consequently making the upper left portion of the 2 and also the upper edge of the adjacent 9 appear faint as if a weak strike. Finally if you go back to the image I posted with a darker and deeper tone- purpose being for the toning adjustment was to highlight the "scarring grooves seen over the obverse side and in paticular the groove that is causing the 2 to appear as a 4 is actually the one error on this coin that is screaming very cool (imo) is a Mercury dime marriaged to the cent. Her nose is on the 2 adding to the blurred top half. |

In my opinion, the San Francisco mint did a very good job trying to hide any and apparently all 1992 CAM transitional test strike. Evident by the complete absence of any S mint CAMs being discovered yet. Opposed to the 30 or so Ds and the 8 or so Ps.

Already in route. Thank you for the refreshing debate. No disrespect meant

The second larger image if the obverse now has me firmly convinced that it is a 94.

It has to be a 4 sorry. If it was a 2 the point wouldn't be so close to the 9.

Sir I admire your persistence but a certified nuismatist has already submitted it.#128530;

Would be quite something is this comes out as a VG-10 1994 cent or so. :)
I'd be very interested to hear what the outcome of this cent by this 'certified numismatist' is. For now, I'd say it's a 1994 cent, also based on the lower right of the 4 (the 90 degree angle), which a 2 simply doesn't have. It might also be due to a scratch in a 2 though: photos taken with a cell phone are never good enough to be conclusive. If you have an SLR present and some good light source on it and then take a pic, I'd be very happy.

In my honest opinion, it's clearly a 1994. Don't be blinded by hope.

Not blinded by hope, standing firm with conviction. Not afraid to be wrong. So far by my count the 94 and 92 trams or neck and neck , niether side being outnumbered. Only outspoken
