    I would like to know where You sell that Penny. Because I want to sell my 1994P dime with Die Clash on both sides. Hope that people pay the right price.

    No offense to the experts here ( I believe you guys have a good eye and all) but the shop guy had it in his hand. It looks like that damage could easily be UNRELATED to the what appears to be the top of an S.

    Obviously it is neither of the well known 1944 D/S. If it was to be offered as a previously unknown 44D/S it would have to be justified as the S being smaller than the 'micro-S' of 1945 Mercury Dime . So my opinion favors the majority in that it is worn punch or PMD ( most likely)

    Yes you said that you sell to the coin shop all the time, so it you want to have a relationship with them you better make it right.

    I called them He said they Bevel It is an error with damaged to the D. But He wants to keep it and have it looked at.. They Have bought gold, and silver coins from me.. So I feel fine with the sale. Just like the fingerprint coin I listed a while back.. They were stumped and cant say If the print was on the coin before being stamped or after.. so they still are Waiting on a test to come back.. But I was told it was PMD from many people, But I have had a few nice offers for this coin! I was told that they Had ran the finger print,and That it did come Back to someone !! But would not say any more at that time. And said they will LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS THEY KNOW. TELL ME THAT'S NOT DIFFERENT.. Any coin tuched with a finger with oil and set for many years Is different. This is that coin.. SOME OF YOU MAY REMEMBER THE COIN..

    This is just bordering on absurd. Fingerprints would not be left on the face of the die. Fingers are soft, dies are hard. And even if somehow they were somehow left on the die, they would not be nearly as deep enough to leave a mark on the coin.

    Are you honestly telling me that they ran a fingerprint test on your coin and it actually returned a result? I didn't know that coin shops had fingerprint research databases...

    You will find that (unfortunately) many coin shops are quite limited in knowledge when it comes to errors and varieties.

    There is absolutely no way that the coin pictured is either of the two 1944 D/S varieties. Check the coppercoins web-site. The mintmark placement does not match either one - too high for both. You could find a coin that was damaged such that it looked EXACTLY like one of the vareities, and it still would not be correct. I would be very careful buying from this guy.

    But it is still wrong. A die variety either IS or ISN'T. There should be no "might be". Bottom line is that the coin is damaged, and I think you should inform the buyer of that fact.

    I Took It to them Before I posted the picture, Non Cents You Know I have been trying to learn about coins! I called them And asked them If they wanted to sell it back to me he said No He was going to have it looked at! I go there three times a week a buy thing and sell coins. I don't think I was in the wrong!

    Quarter might have meant to be careful about buying from your coin guy if he doesn't know coins that well.

    One more time and then I'm done. First, OP, you put up a question:

    Is this a 1944d D/S???.


    Then you got almost unanimous (and I might say, polite) responses suggesting that the coin is damaged, but you proceeded to brag about how you got $65 dollars for a coin that you by then knew was damaged. Several people pointed out where your error was, and suggested that you might want to allow the dealer to benefit from what you have learned. The combined experience on this board probably sums into centuries, and their advice to return the money was good, and probably would buy you years of goodwill. You have a lot to learn, and maybe this exchange will be a valuable learning experience for you. Finally, I was suggesting that you be careful buying from the dealer who bought the coin. If he paid $65 buck for this coin, don't be too confident that he is selling you what you think you are buying.

    Have fun,
    Quarter-back
