In one way it looks like a 94 and then it looks like a 90. Under the D to the right is part of a letter, can't make it out though. I am intrigued by this one. Thanks for any help.

I don't see a "0" in the photos.   08-24-2009, 07:44 PM   #3 (permalink) rockdude Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: ca.

I thought a 4/4 would be in the date. Wouldn't this be a D/4? I have never seen a mint mark over a number but that's what your photo suggests.   08-26-2009, 03:16 PM   #10 (permalink) micheldura2 Senior Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Lower Alabama Posts: 393 My Mood: I was originally talking about the 4 in 1994, but the mintmark had something under it that I couldn't see, so I tried harder to get better shots...and really did on this one.   08-26-2009, 03:27 PM   #11 (permalink) CrustyCoins Twilight Photographer     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Sunnyvale, CA Posts: 1,399 I just did a search for mint mark varieties on coppercoins.com for this date and did not see anything, there is one reported DDO and that's about it. http://coppercoins.com/advsearch.php If no one else here chimes in maybe you should contact CONECA (The combined organization of numismatic error collectors of america), if they confirm it they will add it to the official variety list. They can also de-confirm i.e. say that it was caused by some other means. http://conecaonline.org/   08-26-2009, 03:42 PM   #12 (permalink) Pyrbob Member   Join Date: Jan 2009 Location: York, PA Posts: 109 Sending it to CONECA might be the best way to go. By examining it in hand they can give you a better evaluation and the cost is not nearly as much as the TPG's. My personal feeling is they will confirm that it is damage as was suggested in the beginining of this post. If you do send it in please post the results.   08-26-2009, 03:42 PM   #13 (permalink) micheldura2 Senior Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Lower Alabama Posts: 393 My Mood: Thanks for your help, and I did contact Coneca with a picture. I will let you know what they say as soon as I hear back.   08-26-2009, 06:56 PM   #14 (permalink) micheldura2 Senior Member   Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Lower Alabama Posts: 393 My Mood: I need opinions please...   08-26-2009, 07:00 PM   #15 (permalink) CrustyCoins Twilight Photographer     Join Date: Jun 2009 Location: Sunnyvale, CA Posts: 1,399 Quote: Originally Posted by micheldura2 I need opinions please...
