Could this nickel be a d/s mint mark?

D/S?

What year is it?
Could you provide us with a full size photo of the obverse and reverse.

 

Without additional information, I'm in the hit/PMD column.

 

It's definitely taken a hit and seen circulation. But...….

 

Appears to just be damage. Jim

 

It's been damaged so not an over mintmark. Welcome to CT.

 

It could be a D/S to someone who wants it to be, but not to me. ~ Chris

 

The year is important, anything after 1994 can not be either rpm nor omm as

"After 1994 the mint mark was applied directly to the original model for all U.S. coins thus ending the RPM and OMM era."

Thanks everybody yea prolly damage, it was a 42, and I know there aren’t supposed to be any s mint marks but I know they have been found so I was wondering if it was possible it was repunched with a D, but yea I’m sure it’s just beat up.

 

In 1942 they only made the large S silver variety. (Above the dome).
They made regular Philly and Denver nickels, and the silver were P and S.
There is a very valuable D over horizontal D for that year.

 

There are some OMM's for the series.
D/s would be 49' and 54'.
Also an S/D in 55'

 

Actually 42' was struck in both Nickel and war time Silver.

This is what I said.
Regular 42 in P and D
Silver 42 in P and S.

They made regular Philly and Denver nickels, and the silver were P and S.

 

Actually clad 1942 s nickels do exist.https://www.silvertowne.com/p-24640...wartime-nickel-known-as-the-frith-nickel.aspx just has a 41 reverse

 

They didn't mint any. If one exists as an error, that's not what I am talking about. I am familiar with this story.

 

My bad I misunderstood your post.
