Bison101 New Member United States 24 Posts	Posted 09/13/2008 01:59 am I am struggling really hard to find atleast 5 errors, so far I've only gotten two. I have tried to take some good pictures, but it's hard because one camera can zoom in but doesn't have a USB and the other camera does but can't zoom in.. So I have to take the picture of the picture -.-'... Anyways, I think that this is an S/D because the S sticks out more, or it could be Damage to the D that makes the form of the S. Again, I am young to collecting, need help and verification. Thanks Alan Report this Post to the Staff

Whatever you are using for these pictures just does not do the job when it comes to close work. Anybody who says they can tell you much is doing you an injustice. It would be pure guesswork.

There are some exceptions to my statement:-) I was just not willing to take a stab at it based upon those pictures. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/14/2008 10:03 am Rockdude - Don't forget that there are two different D/S dies for 1944. To date there is no known S/D for any date other than 1946, and those are rare. This image completes Rockdude's statement: Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/14/2008 10:06 am But my response was not based on the fact that there are no known S/D cents other than 1946. My statement about this coin being damage is that it was quite obvious to me as soon as I viewed the images in the first post of this thread. It's just a well placed heavy hit on the coin that obliterated the mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
rockdude Pillar of the Community United States 1807 Posts	Posted 09/14/2008 8:09 pm I've got one similar; Report this Post to the Staff
coppercoins Pillar of the Community United States 7629 Posts	Posted 09/15/2008 08:19 am That one could be a die chip in combination with a damaged mintmark, but is not an over mintmark or a repunched mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
