Message:: [QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1839155, member: 15199"]If you look carefully at the "S" mint mark used during that date ( perhaps on another 1984 S  cent you can find, and draw the general shape or just have it handy and try to arrange it to fit what you might see as an "S" under the "D". If all visible parts fit, then there would be a case, but if only one part ( such as maybe the bottom area of the "D" ) might fit but no others then not. The mint marks for a particular year are about the same size, but different shapes , so you can't have one only show a small area and not be able to see some of the rest. For D/S  type of coins, the mid diagonal of the "S" should be seen in the opening of the "D", and the "S" presence/absence of serifs and "squarish " or rounded helps also.  I agree with the post above , and welcome to the forum.
