    Okay, so I got the weekly cent finds and here's what was found this week. First off is a 1978, error or PMD? 1978OBV-1.jpg 1978DATE.jpg
    Next is a 1975, this looks like PMD, but welcome any opinions. 1975OBV.jpg 1975DATE.jpg
    And a 1948 S, I've never seen a mint mark like this before. What do you all think? 1948sOBV.jpg

    Oh, I forgot one. Check out this 1968 S, looks like doubling on trust. 1968sOBV1.jpg 1968OBV2.jpg
     
  4. the s on the 48 might have a small die chip, or it is just pmd and got move. 75 and 78 looks like they took a hit, pmd. 68 s looks like machine doubling.

    I'll agree on your assessment of the '75 and '78, but respectfully disagree on the '48 s. I think it resembles the

  6. I did not even check for that. You might be right, they look very similar. Lets hope you're right and I'm wrong.
