I got my Mark Twain silver unc last Saturday. After close inspection it appears to have a very small error. It is small enough that it appears to be just a small speck with the naked eye. Under a normal magnifying glass it is clearly an indentation or punch into the metal. I'm don't know a whole lot about errors but I would assume that is a strike through error.

Being so small, is it worth sending it back to the mint? And if it's really a strike through, is it worth getting it graded for error label? Or is it just to small to be concerned with?

Not TPG worthy. I would send it back if possible.I would not want a flaw on my UNC coin.

Its a flaw, plain and simple. Not an error. Just a bit of a ding.

Simply a mint flaw ... there are no guarantees of MS70 coins.

Keep or send back is your choice.
