Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/30/2022 6:06 pm Brighter pics would help, certainly. I'm guessing for now that the reverse of the '26-D and certainly the obverse of the '23-S (with its ghosting effects) are the products of overused dies.

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 07/01/2022 10:46 am Just like the over polished dies on the 1922-D cents, it looks like this is an example of a 1923-S. First one of these I've seen before. The 1926 looks like a well circulated example. Edited by coop 07/01/2022 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff
