MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 11/09/2021 10:33 pm Not sure about this but while searching for RPM's I found this 1951 cent which appears to be a D over S. I can't find a listing for any such OMM so perhaps it is a die gouge but it sure looks like an S to me. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 11/10/2021 02:59 am After some further research I found that there is a 1951 D over S listed on Varietyvista. FS 511 doesn't look like this and neither does FS 512. I thought that maybe I discovered a new variety. Then I decided to soak the coin in an acetone bath and against my better judgement I poked inside the mint mark with a toothpick and put it back under the microscope. Turns out to be a case of things not being what they appeared to be. Sorry for wasting your time! Report this Post to the Staff

Sand can scratch a coin. So try using a green throne. It will be less able to push the sand into the surface of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff
