Kerry67 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 12:36 am I started searching my 5 lbs of wheat pennies that I have had since childhood, and I might have something. It is a 1944 S but just to the left of the S you can faintly make out an D or a P.....Hard to see but it is there. Anyone have any ideas ? Report this Post to the Staff

Kerry67 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 12:46 am I can scan the coin but I don't know how to zoom in. Not sure if that would do us any good.... Report this Post to the Staff

thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 12:49 am Kerry, I too have a penny that sounds something like yours. I'll look for it when I get the chance. I call mine the 'floating D' because it looks like a D stamped well above the date. I don't recall the date of this penny offhand. I'll let you know when I find mine. Report this Post to the Staff
Kerry67 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 12:52 am Mine is just off to the side of the S between Abe's chest. It is kind of angled, leaning toward him. I have several other 44's and nothing is like this one... Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 12:56 am Yeah, I recall that mine is angled too. Almost on it's side I think. Report this Post to the Staff
Kerry67 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 12:59 am Definatly something.....Looked at hundreds of pennies so far and this is the only one like it. Lot's of 55's, no double dies, but found a very nice 1915 and 1917 so far as well... Report this Post to the Staff

Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 1:49 pm Sorry guys no chance of it being over a P there is no such mint mark on the Wheat cent . Rick Report this Post to the Staff
Buffaloboy5 Pillar of the Community United States 604 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 1:54 pm In 1909 till now there was never a p marked coin but when West pioint mint opened in 1980 something It produce regular change to without a mark so it might be a "p" marked coin by the chance the D marked die had a crack to make it look like a "P" Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 2:07 pm I found something similar years ago, and thought it was another mint mark. Turned out there was something there, but not a mintmark. Report this Post to the Staff
thingee Pillar of the Community United States 2177 Posts	Posted 06/26/2006 4:48 pm Okay, I have my penny out. The one with a floating D. I just looked through it with a loupe and I am convinced it is a D. The date is 1992. The D is above the number 1 and next to Abe's chin. I tried taking pics of it a few months ago and I could'nt get this mark to show. I'll try it again later tonight or tomorrow. I am busy packing for my move and things are pretty hectic here. I hope I can a decent pic. Report this Post to the Staff
