1955 S over D Mintmark wheat penny

#1 Unread post by dandan34a »

Hello I just went through some older penny rolls and found what looks to be an S over the D mintmark. Could anyone give me an estimate on what it might be worth? I'm not expecting it to be too much but I'm just curious. Thank you all! I just looked up other 1955 S and they all look the same. I'm wrong. That's just the way the S looks. I'm still new. My apologies. I should of checked first

Doesn't this look like an S over D? It looks like it to me in this picture

I just checked eBay and compared them. I'm wrong. I'm still new to this. That's how all the S mintmarks look. They all look strange to me but I guess you are right about pareidolia. My apologies everyone

Please note the section on why pictures of microscope screens can mess up details (see the pixellation and interference lines?) and see the way around it.
