Fladude New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 08/22/2020 1:43 pm While sorting some wheats I have owned for years under my desk lighted magnifier, something caught my eye when looking at this coin. There was loose crud around the date area which I gently brushed away. Using a more powerful glass, it appears to be an d over s mint mark. My question is what to do next. Who would be able to examine and determine if the coin is what it appears to be or something else. I have included the best (lousy) pictures I was capable of. On the subject of coin photography, can any one out there tell me the best settings for coins on a Nikon P530. Thanks for your help. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34408 Posts	Posted 08/22/2020 4:58 pm @fl, I agree with the frog that a better close-up of the mintmark would help us to see what you have. Below is the best that I can do with the current pics. I do note that varietyvista doesn't list an OMM for the 1931 cents: http://www.varietyvista.com/02a%20L...Listings.htm "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/22/2020 8:32 pm All of the 1931-D MM punches I've seen, especially in this position, have strong serifs, which appear here faintly. Guessing this may be the result of an abraded die. Curious for sure. Edited by Coinfrog 08/22/2020 8:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
