    1954s Penny

    I found this 1954S in a bag of coins and noticed that what appears to be partial doubling of the 5, but located at the S. I need some help identifying what exactly I have.

    Die break east of the mint mark. at one time they called it a San Jose coin, but we all know what it is. LOL
    Richard S. Cooper Some have asked about my images I use, and I'm glad to say I've completed a DVD of these. Ask if you are interested. Newer members like these.

        That's caused by a crack in the die caused by overuse. These die breaks are quite common on cents from this era. Welcome to the forum! Retired is a good thing.
