[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 675573, member: 4350"]Hi, I am reading a lot of imagination based upon a lack of understanding of the minting process. You can't have a 4/4 and you cant have a D/over or under the 4. The date and the mintmark are on the model used to create the master hubs, master dies, work hubs and work dies on 1994 D cents. Those details are not added later on in the processes of making dies. Please don't add imaginary ways that the D or the 4 could be added in a way that you describe. It just doesn't happen that way. There are no repunched mintmarks after 1990 and there is no way to have a 4/4 since there is no such thing as a repunched date after 1909 on U.S. coinage. Knowing what it can't be allows me to base an opinion on what it could be. Some kind of damage, most likely corrosion under the plating. No disrespect intended, so please don't take offense. Folks who are not aware of the processes involved in minting U.S. coins should not offer guesses that make little sense. It is not the best thing to do to a newbie as they will learn the wrong thing and they will have hope that something is rare when it is simply a clunker. Have Fun, Bill I'll wait to see what CONECA has to say on it too:-)[/QUOTE]
