So I have this 1912 Lib that appears to be a D, BUT MAYBE ITS AN S???? It's very well worn so it's difficult to see. Here's a picture through a 20x loupe. I hoping and praying that it's an S, but maybe that's too much wishful thinking...
If it's anything it's a D. It would help if your image was shot dead on not at a 90 degree from the area in question.
It's a D. I have many and wishful thinking never changed them. Eventually I did find my 1912-S - but it cost me. I bought a lot of 200some nickels at a buck-fifty each at an estate sale. I came out with a few 1883's, a 1912-S, and a few 1912-D's. I guess I would have paid the same for a good 1912-S but it was more fun to hunt through the unsearched nickels.
Darn... I bought this 20x loupe specifically for this coin (my eyes weren't doing the trick). Oh well, I mean I got the coin for 35 cents anyways...
I got this cheapo one for $3.51, but on the box... "WARNING. the Distribution of thie Product Warns you That This Product May Contain Substances Known to the State of California to Cause Cancer and/or Reproductive Toxicity"
I don't know how close I'd want that to my eye! There is an awesome 10x lighted loupe that in my mind gives "triplet" quality viewing. It says it's a true triplet loupe, and for the price it's a bargain! It uses 3 cheap watch batteries, and it's big in size for good viewing. Folds into metal case for protection. We have 2 in the house. Ade Advanced Optics Premium Lighted 10x21 Triplet Lens Color Jeweler's Loupe with Leather Case
