Is This An FS-502? Or Is It A Machine-Doubled Mint Mark With No Added Value?

bigbang7777 New Member Japan 6 Posts	Posted Today 1H 33M ago Thank you for your assistance. In the reference photos for the FS-502 (FS-902), there appears to be a "branch" or spur extending from the top of the mint mark; however, even when examining my quarter under a magnifying glass, I cannot see that feature. While the shape of the mint mark is similar, does the absence of this branch mean it does not qualify as an FS-502? Or is it simply a case of " Machine Doubling" on the mint mark, which holds no added value? I would appreciate your opinion on this matter. Thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Tanman2001 Pillar of the Community United States 4412 Posts	Posted Today 57M ago You are correct, it has to have the "branch" to be FS-502 because that "branch" is the repunched mintmark. It's a stray punch of the mintmark too far northeast. Your coin only has Machine Doubling on the mintmark. Edited by Tanman2001 Today 56M ago Report this Post to the Staff
