Jdford Valued Member United States 362 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 6:32 pm Coin has circulation, but I looked up a coin on ebay, claimed to have been D/S/S error to where the s on the mint mark was slanted. Very well could be circulation though. What do y'all think? Report this Post to the Staff

mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2962 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 7:58 pm Can't really tell based on the photo, but from that angle, looks as if the mintmark took some kind of damage. I do see a flat feature on the top curve of the mintmark, but too far away to be sure what it is. Report this Post to the Staff
PlumCrazy814 Pillar of the Community United States 901 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 8:16 pm I think it is a 1948 S. I agree it's hard to tell from pic but looks like a circulation hit Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 9:01 pm Definitely a 1948. A close up of the mintmark is needed to tell more. Report this Post to the Staff
CentSation Pillar of the Community United States 713 Posts	Posted 12/19/2021 11:07 pm So let me get this right, you have this 1948-s LWC that has a slanted S and you saw an auction on ebay for a coin that has a slanted s and you think it might be a similar coin and worth something extra? Where does one look up information on an OMM from 1948? Edited by CentSation 12/19/2021 11:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
