1944-D WALKER REENGRAVED DESINGERS INITIALS

[RICHARD]

HELLO ALL,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a 44-D walker i found that appears to have re cut or re engraved designers initials on the reverse. it looks nothing like others i have compared it to, but i do not have another unc 44-D to compare it to. thank you,
RICHARD

It does not look like any of the two listed in the cherry pickers guide

i meant to mention that the designers initials on the coin i have looks nothing like anything listed in the CherryPickers Guide nor any of the other designers initials i have on the other coins in my collection.

Hi Richard,
Without a picture, we cannot make a comparison.I do have several 1944-D Liberty Walking half dollars (my favorite design of all U. S. coins) that I can make a comparison to if you are willing to send it down to Florida, where I live.

PHOTO OF THE COIN I HAVE

Sorry it took so long to get a good photo. Any information would be appreciated.

This is the one in the Cherrypicker's Guide. Evidently the original letters -- raised on the die face -- were lost as the result of intentional abrasion. The letters were reconstituted by a mint worker who tapped in the outlines of the letters with a sharp implement.
