yeh.....this coin came from my grandfather who just recently passed and left me his coins.....MANY of his coins were from the war times and most contain silver.....too much centimental value to let any of them go.....thanks for the responses and I will deffinitly go back and check for that s/s mint mark but I have to get a nice 16x glass to look for it....i never really got into any error type coins but with this collection I want to get a glass to take a closer look at a lot of them
