shotgung Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 8:19 pm Ran across this coin today and I believe it's a D over S. You can see the outline of the S in the 3rd pictures. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks in advance. Report this Post to the Staff

Chase007 Pillar of the Community United States 7516 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 9:54 pm I am unable to detect an outline of S, due to too much corrosion on the surface. Report this Post to the Staff
Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 10:00 pm That really is pushing it, I'd have to say no. Most all 1944D have that bit at top left, think I read it was a broken punch. This spot IS where the S moves north BUT inside the area you still have left would show something of the center S curve. Most D/S are misdiagnosed as D/D anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 11:18 pm I can see this as an S: Is that what you're seeing? Like Crazyb0 said, if anything it could be a D/D north. I can also see this: Or, it could be nothing and we're seeing what we want to see.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 11:43 pm Maybe, but because of condition it is IMPOSSIBLE to attribute this coin Report this Post to the Staff
jmkendall Pillar of the Community United States 1590 Posts	Posted 07/29/2017 11:54 pm Throw it in a two by two and put it back in the collection. Or soak it in acetone for a Looooong time to see if the grime comes off. Report this Post to the Staff
shotgung Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 07/30/2017 07:30 am Crazyb0, Yes, that's what I'm seeing as well. Bummer it isn't in better shape Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/30/2017 5:00 pm I don't think so. The original S punch is primarily UNDER the D, not extending well into the field above it. It is the TOP of the S, effaced in the middle, that shows above the D. This is shown quite well in Crazyb0's enlargement - a short pointed shank sitting on top of the D to the left, and the blob in the field to the right, both remnants of the top curve of the S now polished away.

shotgung Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 07/31/2017 07:07 am Might send it to Wexler for verification I think. Report this Post to the Staff
