[/ATTACH]I see a s under the d mm. Please let me know what you think. Sorry if the picture is not oriented right. They are when I load them and then they come out sideways in post. Thanks for your input.
Sorry it still didn't orient right.

I see something in the middle of the mint mark which could be a die gouge. If there is a D punched over an S, where is the other parts of the S? Also, if it's not too much trouble could you turn the photo upright? It makes it a lot easier to examine.
I would say no to an OMM, but if you like, you can always have it attributed by Bob or another attributer.

The only reason I think it's a d/s is I can see trumpet tail in the lower left corner of the d and the top of the s just above the right of top of d. Is that not the S tip.

Possibly die scratches. Just an opinion.

It's too blurry to see what you are referring to. I only see the gouge in the opening of the MM and several die flow lines around the MM. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

This is not an S, please do not offer it on eBay as such.

Sorry, I do not see anything that suggest an OMM.

I do not see anything that indicates an RPM or an OMM.

OMM diagnosis is difficult. Overlays are needed to match the size and shape of the counterpart MM for that year. From what I see here, nothing strikes me as being an OMM at all. I could see questioning the gouge as being, oh, maybe an RPM but not an OMM. Keep up the hunt, but try and not study finds too closely - one starts to see things that just aren't there...
