I recently acquired a 1943 S steel cent that appears to have been punched over a D mint mark and possibly another S. The D mark is above and to the left of the S with possible another S at the lower right. I have done some research on line and on eBay and haven't seen another coin like it. The second S in the lower right appears similar to some S over S varieties that I was able to find. Images attached. Is this coin valuable?
Welcome to CT. You'll have to help us to help you. You have to provide pictures. At least one pic each of the entire face and a close-up of the mint mark. Do not take your pics from an angle. Be sure the coin and the camera lens are parallel.
I repeat: At least one pic each of the entire face and a close-up of the mint mark. Do not take your pics from an angle. Be sure the coin and the camera lens are parallel.
You may have something there, but I'm not sure of what I'm seeing. There are MM varieties listed at Coppercoins.com and varietyvista.com, but I can't match it. Better minds and eyes than mine will be through here soon. Be patient.
one of em was given to me by some nice people at the local coin shop, 39 were given to me by my uncle who collected them when he was younger than me.
I know you did the best you could on the photos, but it still hard to be relatively sure, but I see what appears as machine DD on the fainter flattened 'S' to the right and that what you though might be another mm "D" is actually damage or working die deterioration around the actual "S" mm. Jim
Looks like a S over S mm with some possible md also. Can you take a better photo of the coins mintmark like the sizing used on the first photo but just the mint mark using your cameras macro function.
