Sorry man, I didn't even think of the mint mark. It never crossed my mind or I would have mentioned that to you.

That's kinda weird because, now that you mention it, I can clearly see the "S" on the reverse.

Wow! Now that you point that out, it looks like an S

Since the S is there, maybe the year was a tossup for them between 1923 and 1928?
They should have marked the label with some hints.

I guess so Pauldog. I'm kind of lost at this point.

Maybe you can give them a call for clarification on the decision. I don't know if that is really an option but it's worth a shot to try. Plus you paid them money for a clear grading so that should afford you some level of customer service from a reputable company.

Wait... it says "1928" AND "Illegible Date." huh?
I'd call them for clarification. I think someone made a boo-boo.

Called them...basically because it's not an official grade they can put whatever number they want on there (in this case 1928).
They believe the coin failed because they were not able to read the last digit. They could provide no further information besides that it was up to the discretion of the grader.

I think that thing that looks like an "S" is too close to the tail to be a mint mark. My guess is they also felt it was a 1928, but the illegible date notation was because they couldn't determine whether it was a 1928-P or 1928-S.

My guess is they also felt it was a 1928, but the illegible date notation was because they couldn't determine whether it was a 1928-P or 1928-S. Comparing the PCGS images for 1922-S and 1928-S, the mint mark on the OP coin matches the 1922-S -- the 1928-S is much higher as you indicate, but all three images for 1922-S have this lower position. That said, we recognize that mint marks were hand-punched at the time and variations can occur so even this may not be conclusive. But it still looks like an "S" mint mark to me rather than convenient-looking damage. |
