1951-D over S Overmintmark (OMM) ?

[MintErrors]

This one is buggin' me.
I think I created a match on the overlay.
I will provide photos so any one who has owned one of these OMM can share their opinions.

I cannot quite make out the crack on VarietyVista, so I added mine below:

Here is a crude overlay....

John wexler years ago debunked the D/S as just RPMs. But, VarietyVista has them as OMMs. I for one just want to know if it is a match . I dont know if its worthy to send it in to a TPG since the value potential /:return on investment is just not there.

Gary - that one is 1951-D OMM002 - Coneca - It's the correct coin. My thoughts - just my opinion - If the coin is clean, no corrosion, few bagmarks and I mean small ones I would be on the fence also. I just cannot see sending #23 for the slab and another $18 for the variety verification. Unless you have other coins - no way send this one alone. Then your at $10 for the PCGS holdercase and another $25 for return shipping. So $76.00 for the whole PCGS thing along with the membership. My opinion it would need to be a flawless coin and found out of a roll in the wild. Just not worth it if you have $25 or more in coin..

One other thing to consider - if you see the die crack on the OBV then the coin was struck from a LDS to VLDS die so the coin is weaker detail. PCGS LIKES crisp/ well struck early die states with strong detail for the better grades.

This has a touch of verdigris that bleeds on the obverse and reverse. I will attempt to use the sonic-crafter and see if I can remove it.
Otherwise, its in pretty decent shape.
I am not a big fan of this one.
IF it were in good shape without the verdigris, I probably would not send it in.
Honestly, I found this in that monster box of RPM's I bought years ago.
The RPM's and DDO's I have left from that box probably now cost me cents on the dollar.

Don't send to PCGS. Even small spots they - "Environmental Damage" - Heck I sent a very nice 1946-P Jeff Nickel to them with a very thin nick in the steps - Kept a nice nickel out of Five Steps.
