Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 4:50 pm Hi Couple of questions. I had recently purchaed a new whitman folder and was filling it with my 30's cents. I noticed there were no 1932,33 or 34 S's. I'm assuming none were minted these 3 yrs. Is that correct? Question #2 I also noticed that my 1934-P(i have no 34-D)has a totally different shaped 3 in the date than any of the other 1930 thru 1939 dates. Is this normal for the 34-P and is it the same on the 34-D ? What I mean is, the shape of the 3 is the same on all of the other 30's except for the 34-P. Was the die altered just for that one date? Maybe someone can post a pic. for me of the 34-D so I can see for myself. Found it interesting anyway. Thank's Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 6:03 pm Question # 1 Correct. They didn't mint any Cents from San Francisco those years. Just like they didn't mint any 1921-D Cents or 1922 plain Cents those years. No 1910-D Cents as they started in 1911 with Denver Cents. 1923 No Denver Cents. 1956-1967 No San Francisco Cents and 1965-67 no Denver Cents designated. The were minted but without mint marks those years to slow down collector frenzy. 1968-1974 Continued with Cents from all three mints in business Strikes. 1968 till now, Proof Cents from San Francisco. Question # 2 The 1934 P & D did have a different style of numbers than the other years. But this was not an alteration of the dies, but of the master dies that made the hubs which made the dies. There are a few RPMs in the 1934 series and an few doubled dies that year. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum..._1DO_003.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...3_WE_TRU.jpg https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...3-D_Cent.jpg Note the two year date differences.

Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 06/17/2008 6:23 pm O.K. Thanks much guys. Great link for future info by the way also. Nice pics. too. It's interesting how at times, you notice something while looking for something else totally. Another post I guess, but I was comparing dates to find out if a 19_2 was in reality a 1922 plain when I noticed the odd 3 on the 34-P Was checking all the 20's and 30's etc. to find out what the near missing digit was on this coin. Kind of ruling out one digit at a time. Report this Post to the Staff

If you look at several examples you will see this from different dies. Report this Post to the Staff
