<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 1084141, member: 15309&quot;]My guess would mean that the roll is all 1955-D &amp; 1955-D/S.&nbsp; We really can&#039;t tell anything from the photo you posted.&nbsp; What we really need is a closeup of the mintmark.&nbsp; I stated earlier that I don&#039;t own a 1955-D/S.&nbsp; That statement was not entirely true.&nbsp; What I meant to say was I don&#039;t own the 1955-D/S OMM-001.&nbsp; There are 10+ varieties of the 1955-D/S and I own one of the lesser varieties.&nbsp; Here are some photos:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Raw/JeffersonNickel1955-DoverSRawBU1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Raw/Mintmark1955-DoverS.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea if your father&#039;s repunched mintmarks are the lesser variety or the OMM-001 which is rather pronounced.&nbsp; If he has any of the OMM-001, the mintmark will clearly show both letters.&nbsp; The overlapping mintmarks will look much more like the 1942-D over Horizontal D and the 1946-D over Horizontal D.&nbsp; I have both of those coins and their mintmarks are shown below.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JN1942-DOverHorizontalDPCGSMS64.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels/JeffersonNickel1946-DoverinvertedDNGCMS66wMintmark.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>See how the letters overlap in the last two examples posted.&nbsp; That is what you are looking for in the mintmark.&nbsp; The lesser varieties are really not worth much more than the regular 1955-D and I would bother chasing them, especially since you can&#039;t attribute them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
