Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74806 Posts	Posted 07/14/2018 12:40 pm Tanman, you're correct. It was Die Damage that caused the indentation of the "S". It was debunked as Die Damage, according to doubleddie.com. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

By looking at earlier die states. They area in question was not there on them. Developed later, so it wasn't an over mint mark. http://doubleddie.com/921576.html Wexler still lists the 1981-D Quote: 1981-D 1¢ WDMM-001 Description: An apparent S mint mark can be found north of the D mint mark. Die Markers: Obverse: Die scratch from inside lower right G of GOD NW into the field. Reverse: Die gouge on upper side of slanted bar of N in CENT almost to junction of right vertical bar. Die gouge in field east of center of T in CENT. Submitted By: Brian Allen Cross References: None known Comments: In view of the debunking of 1980-D 1¢ WDMM-001, it is likely that more study will go into this variety to make sure it does have an S mint mark and not a form of die damage like that seen on the debunked 1980-D variety. An early die state will be needed for such a study. But as the last paragraph mentions it is still under study. Edited by coop 07/14/2018 4:00 pm Report this Post to the Staff
