jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 03/20/2006 10:00 pm Hello, Here's what I found. A 1945 S, S over S? Breen's #3689? Breen's says reported, unseen. Should this be something that should be sent in so some experts can take a peek at? I showed to a local expert and he said he believes it to be an S over S. I provided a scan, a pic, and a corny little illustration as to what the over-lapping appears to be (slightly exaggerated) I still cannot find a way to get a good picture. I have a Digital SLR 8.0, Tried all different settings including Macro... Also put the scanner on 2400 DPI, not very good. So here is what I was able to come up with.

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 03/21/2006 03:03 am Hi JD I tried to enhance your pic, but I could not make it any better than what you have,, Have you tried photographing it through your loupe ? from what I can see in the pic ,, I think you may just be looking at the large over small S variety,, although the notation that it may look grotesque ? I'm not sure why that comment was made? You may want to submit the coin to coneca, and have it attributed and then slabbed. can you get a good clear pic of the entire coin ? I would love to see this coin in sharp contrast !!! Rick Report this Post to the Staff

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/21/2006 1:09 pm thats how I used to take my pictures before I remembered the macro setting, its not as good as the macro setting but should be better than the pictures you have been getting with the camera. I also had to put my camera in manual mode not automatic mode to get the macro to work properly maybe if your camera has a manual setting that will help you also. Report this Post to the Staff
jdheyne Pillar of the Community United States 772 Posts	Posted 03/21/2006 1:29 pm The camera has so many dang options and setting that it is rediculous. I tried through the loop, could not even see the coin. I will keep practicing with that later tonight. Here is the reverse, I do not have an obv pic yet. Not the best shape, but not bad. The picture is a little grainy... but oh well. Report this Post to the Staff
