I guess it does exist . My apology . Here's the PCGS link . Check it out . 1944-D/S 1C, BN (Regular Strike) Lincoln Cent (Wheat Reverse) - PCGS CoinFacts

 

Here's the 194 D/S up close an personal which doesn't match yours .

 

Yeah its actually relatively popular within the wheat varieties and coin community. Not super rare but worth finding i believe.

 

You shou

Thanks. some are harder to tell, considering damage, which is why i posted.

 

I was just about to tell you that there is one

 

Thanks my friend !! Will take notations when secretary wakes up . Still sleeping . Shhhh .

 

Please do not show coins 90, 180 or 270 degrees from normal position. I, and others will mot address your issue.

 

hey Wesley Samborski welcome to CT. SensibleSal66 posted the PCGS website page that showed the 1944-D/S regular strike wheat penny. it goes a little further and shows the Brown, Red and Brown and Red condition versions of that coin. you can really match up your coin on that site .good luck

 

Does anyone have the explanation on where and how this happened? This was 1944, now, when I think the Philly mint was producing these for the branch mints, both the master dies, as well as punching in the mint marks. I don't even think PCGS knows. If they did, they flew right by the question in the link. I think it's an interesting question.

 

I prefer to use this site for identifying varieties. It is more complete, and also has die markers to help identify die states. http://varietyvista.com/02a LC RPMs Vol 1/OMMs 1944D.htm

 

Quite possible, and quite popular! This article goes in depth: https://www.doubleddie.com/58243.html

The basic cause is: mintmarks were applied when the die was made, in Philadelphia. Dies were then shipped to the branch mints. If a die was given one mintmark, but then that mint didn't need the dies, they would be re-allocated to another mint. This was the source of the very popular 1900 O over CC Morgan dollar. The mint would try to erase the old mintmark, of course, but it wasn't always perfect.

 

I recall reading an article, a while ago, which indicated dies destined for SF were repunched and sent to D, due to a shortage at that mint.

 

Haha yes master

 

I really appreciate the respect given and great info you gave me. Got all the PCSG apps now. This is what pushes people to keep collecting coins. Thanks!

 

Yeah, like I said, I'm pretty sure it happened at the Philly mint. The marks are on the hubs, now. But that's probably why it happened, they repurposed the die for the other mint instead of punching the mark out on a fresh die.

 

My reason is simple. I use a computer and usually have other devices connected, so tilting the PC is not an easy maneuver plus, I prefer to see objects in there proper plane.

 

Plus, my neck is stiff enough...
