Years ago I bought several OBW rolls of 1947S pennies. This is one of the ones I pulled out of one of the rolls. I originally marked the coin as a MS66Red. It is really nice with a mellow red color. Closer inspection has revealed it might be a RPM-002. The position of the mint mark looks good. When I look at the coin with my 20X loupe it is very obvious. The breaks in the top swing of the 'S' and a line through the bottom swing of the 'S'. I have tried to get a good picture of the mint mark. The Die Scratch in front of Chin is pretty visible and does not appear to be weak so I would guess it is close to the Stage 'B' pictures. Any thoughts or comments? Looks like a fairly common RPM with over 100 graded by ANACS.

CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.
CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here
