I am asking you if it's an error within the mint mark 'S.' But from your tone I clearly see that it's not. I am new to collecting and just signed up with the site so I apologize for the innacurrate photos but we could perhaps be a little more welcoming.

There were 2 types of "S" mintmarks for 1944 - the 005 & the 006
yours is the 005 "Straight Serif S"

005 - Straight Serif

006 - Ball Serif

What tone . We need to know what you are seeing as a possible error, so we know what to look for.

Did you not read the rules about posting photos?https://www.coincommunity.com/forum...sp#rulesid25

Sabrina - all we're asking is for you to explain what sort of error you're seeing? No tone, no attitude here. C'mon.

Really, we are a friendly bunch here. But We need to know what you think you are seeing in order for us to help you.
Most folks here won't candy coat their answer - we'll give you the straight poop when we are given enough information to reply intelligently.
and, yes, we don't like the screen shots because they are usually very pixelated and that can hide details. Remember you have the coin in hand under ideal conditions - we have to rely on the quality of the images provided to make any kind of determination on a coin presented here.

Also:
to CCF.
