Edgewood76 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 07/06/2021 1:04 pm I did some research on this coin/error myself and I'm a little confused. Is this a doubled die, rpm, deterioration die or A, B, or C varieties or nothing more than a '74s cent? Is the bottom serif split on this coin? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

It looks like the S suffers from circulation flattening, but a closer photo might tell us more. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97379 Posts	Posted 07/07/2021 12:54 am I wonder what's going on with the bottom curve of the 'S'? Looks like some raised metal between the lower serif and the middle section of the S. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Edgewood76 New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 07/07/2021 11:20 am Thank you for the greeting Dearborn. You and I were thinking along the same lines on this one. If it were dinged or had post mint damage it is likely the damage would be recessed and not raised. Report this Post to the Staff
