1944-D Re-Engraved Designers Initials On A Walking Liberty Half Dollar

These are not my photos but they show the difference in the Designers Initials. The error (re-engraved) is FS-901.

Die Errors:
Die Re-touching:
Re-engraved Designer’s Initials (“AW”) on a 1944-D
Half Dollar
Definition: A crude attempt was made to restore the designer’s initials on a reverse die that was striking 1944-D half dollars. It appears that a very small chisel-like implement was tapped numerous times so as to form an outline of the letters A and W.

The original initials – raised on the die face – may have been removed by intentional die abrasion (“die polishing”).


This is my coin. It's the best I can do with my cell phone. It gets blurry on close-ups. It is engraved and different from the normal coin.

Nice find!

 

Is this example also the reengraved designer's initials?
