<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 800303, member: 15199&quot;]Yes, if yours was an actually S mintmark over the D, it would be remarkable! But when these are discovered, overlays are done of the photographs to be sure that the particular shape of that part of the mm shown is the exact same as the separate mintmark. So even though the OMM-1 of 1946 only shows&nbsp; a small portion of the underlying D, an overlay from the mintmark of a regular 46-D mm would line up exactly with that part.</p><p><br /></p><p>In your coin,an overlay of a 46-S mm would not line up exactly, thus no OMM. Overlays are made using photoshop or other editing progams, Hope this helps a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
