Im back. I have another wheat in the 40s. It is a 1942 s and what appears to be the back and top of a d underneath the s. Seems the S is a little southwest of the D. There appears to be doubling in igwt and liberty especially in the L. Any body agree? What if any would be a value of this error?
Yeah those pictures need a little help. How you doing? What are you useing? does your camera have a 'macro' setting? Do you have a loupe to use in front of your lens? Just trying to help.
I am using my Lexmark scanner--its at the highest rate-9600 pixels..its blurry because i magnified it 200x. i try adjusting the blur and sharpen as well as contrast and brighten...doesnt work to well i guess
Yeah your not going to be able to get a much clearer picture with that. But sometimes those things are harder to see even using the digital microscope vs a magnifier glass.
There is no 42-S/D you might want to try looking There is no 42-S/D that we know of and this is most likely not one either. Instead of trying to find something that does not exist you might want to try looking at known years/mint-marks that are true known die varieties. I really am trying to be helpful so don't take this this wrong way but to be honest your pursuing a type of activity that we have all seen many times before. It happens when someone new starts to see every little this or that and thinking it's got to be a "new" something or another when in fact it's nothing. Please don't get me wrong - I do want you to learn about die varieties but your doing what a whole lot of new people do. I see it on eBay each day. People get to thinking they have this or that with no documentation or prior knowledge of such - and what they really have is a whole lot of nothing. I gave you valuable advice already and I don't think you "got it". The trap you are falling into is looking to close at the wrong coins. Learn the right coins, the ones where there are known varieties, look very close at these and spend the time trying to find real doubled dies, OMM's and RPM's - you will have plenty of time in the future to pursue possible varieties after that. By then though you will know how to rule out these that you are asking questions about now.
First off the thing to remember: If it hasn't been found that doesn't mean that it's not waiting for someone to find it. 2nd: If your referring to a coin with a MM with a second punch, it is referred to as a RPM.
I would tend to disagree with one of BHP3rd's comments. In general he's right on but new discoveries are made by looking at everything. It is important to say though that the person looking truly has to be familiar with the die varieties that are out there as well as experienced in knowing how to determine an RPM or OMM from a scratch on the coin or circulation damage. New RPMs and die varieties are found fairly frequently. Still from what I can see on the coin in this thread, there is nothing unusual about this coin. Thanks, Bill
