1944 d Alot Going on

[Schaf]

Hi everyone, Looking for some help on this. I am getting an S over the upper right of the D. I am also getting 2 side by side trails on the word God, on the D. Exactly the same spot on each side. I am also getting some die clash resemblences. Any help would be appreciated.

Going from the pics provided, I don't see an OMM, maybe a scratch or some sort of other anomaly. I think I see what might appear as an S shape, but it is too small and incorrectly shaped to be an extra S above the D.

Trails on a '44D doesn't make any sense (read old trail threads by BJ to understand what I mean). As Brad suggested in your other thread (http://www.lincolncentresource.net/forums/showthread.php?p=35643#post35643) it is very likely do to die wear...but I cannot tell form the photos. FYI: heavy die flow lines connected with are quite frequently misidentified with doubled dies (die deterioration doubling), trails and sometimes RPMs.

I have no idea about a die clash. They are very hard to photograph unless they are major (search for Billy's thread on a clashed dollar for a good example). The light has to be angled just right to see them. And I'll note, it is much easier (and more apparent) on a BU example.
