coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 6:37 pm It can't exist as the mint at San Frisco had been closed over 5 years. So it can't happen. Report this Post to the Staff
merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 6:40 pm Shouldn't be real long (never is for me). While we're waiting.. what year coin (and type) is this "S over D"? Report this Post to the Staff

halfamind Pillar of the Community United States 1489 Posts	Posted 08/28/2021 7:37 pm Agreed w/ makecents, tough to tell, but to me it looks like a spot of corrosion. As said earlier, San Francisco produced no S cents from 1956 to 1967. Report this Post to the Staff
Altec12 Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 08/29/2021 01:33 am Lets suppose there are two mintmarks, an S and a D. Am I wrong in seeing the remote possibility of an S mintmark. Although the S does not look like any S I recall seeing on any minted US coin. To my old eyes the D would be the mintmark on top of the suspected S. So if it was a S mark, then a D mark on top of the S would it not be called a D over S? Instead of an S over D? Just a thought.... Given the fact that there appears to be some added element such as glue, or clear soda to the date, I am inclined to go with post mint issue that would be cleared up and seen as non issue once that element is removed. Try soaking in acetone to see if it can be cleaned up! Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 08/29/2021 04:54 am DeadandCompany, 100% pure acetone soak,15-30 minutes then take a couple good clear photos and post them John1 Report this Post to the Staff
