A couple of weeks ago, I found out there was a variety of the 1980-D Cent. Living in Denver, a lot of D mintmarked cents come through here. I looked through all of my 1980-Ds and found this one: Any thoughts? In case you are wondering, that IS raised.
The D over S coins of old, were possible. Now all of the S cents are proofs since 1975. Not possible.
That is why I said “So-Called.” It is actually just die damage, but it is in the Cherrypicker’s Guide, FS-034
FS-034 is a 1980 Philadelphia minted small cent. FS-034 is a DDO. FS-034.1 is a listing for a 1980-D that has been delisted.
Its no big deal. Every person on this site gets that same excitement when they find something that may be rare. We have all had that let down, too. Not rare. Keep looking and learning. Rare varieties are still out there to be found.
