1974 s/s or s/d?

Found this 1974s cent and im not sure but it looks like at the bottom of the S there is something under it? Maybe you cant tell by the photos but there is definately something there when I look at it with my loupe. Maybe machine doubling but its only on the S as if theres a D under the S whats your opinion

You'll go blind if you look too hard. There is nothing there except a figment of your imagination.

Lol ok thankyou appreciate the help yeah my eyes hurt after looking at so many coins...10 boxes of pennies and found one doubled die...worth it? Yes

 

Call me crazy but..... I believe I see an outline of an S on both the top and bottom of the... 'curves' I guess

 

Nothing to see there, at least not from here.

If you ever think you have a RPM on a modern type, go to varietyvista.com and look at the RPM listings in the online e-books. The first thing you'll notice for 74-S cents is that there are no RPMs known. Yeah, this doesn't mean you can't have one, it just means it's not thought be likely that you do. If you do run across a date and mint with RPMs known -- 60-D for example -- you can rule out matches very quickly using mint mark position before you start looking at the details of the repunching.

 

where is the DD?

 

There is with Coppercoins .

I think it's RPM-001 for Coppercoins ....

 

Do you really i believe indo as well!!!

 

Really ?

 

Really ....................................................................

 

Rick, it doesn't look the same to me. Note that the inside of the top loop is different.

Hard to tell from OP images, that's for sure .

 

Yes I do..... and I believe @Rick Stachowski is onto something

 

I own one, that's how I knew .

 

Here's a full shot of the Date & Mint-Mark . It was taken a little negative plumb, what do you expects at 2:38 AM .

 

I took some full shots and one of the markers, which is :
A very light die crack and tiny chip on the right cornice.

 

I think we have a match

 

I found it in the change about a month ago, RPM(s) really aren't my things .....

 

I have been doing some research and came up with this interesting article from Coneca . Now I think it;s from the 1975-S, pay close attention Pay close attention to the split upper serif, it matches that " S " for 1975 and not the 1974 . here's the article from Coneca too .
