1946 S/D?

Does this look like an S/D stage B? It seems like there is a faint "D" in the correct place.

I'm not seeing it. Maybe others can.
I think sometimes we, collectors, try a bit too hard to see what we want, when it just isn't there.

 

Here are the two points that I saw. Due to whatever gunk or patina is in there, it does make it hard to see. But I notices a raised vertical line coming out of the trumpet tail and a curved line just above the center of the S.

Looks like a normal S with gunk inside of it

 

A lot of S mint marks have small die chips, cracks joining the two curves of the S.

 

Take it to your LCS and see what they think.

 

Looking again this morning your MM has the wrong placement. The S/D is under the 4 Yours is half under the 4.

 

it does look a little bit to the left.

 

I agree with the others here: placement is off and the review of the MDS/LDS diagnostics on Coppercoins aren't there (about the date).
