Very interesting post and a great looking 1931 S cent. Thanks for sharing.

Great cent! Not only is it a nice 31-S but that dropped letter makes it over the top!

Excellent example and great looking coin! Quote:
Do the major grading companies attribute these kind of errors? I have seen it on all three of the major TGP's labels, usually spelled out as "struck throughs". Not sure if they do the attribution themselves or you have to have a letter accompanying the coin from someone like Mike Diamond from Error-Ref. I would think someone here will be able to tell you though. You may even want to contact PCGS or one of the others directly to get an answer. -makecents-

Not sure on next my move here, value is my biggest question. Likely just to list it Raw, I'm not a big error collector.
Although I don't really see a downside to getting this slabbed.
Man just not sure what to do with this one!

On your first picture you posted it looks incase. I thought it was.

I thought it was incuse also, even under my loop, but after placing this under my scope its's not incuse. Now wondering and a little worried. I'll probably reach out to a few more help sites and local coin shops for further evaluations.

The tip of the wheat stem is showing the effects of a filling obstructing the design.
It is incuse I believe.

Very nice error coin.
I'm with Coinhi. It is incuse.
IMHO, as far as value, this "struck through a dropped letter" would have a higher return on a run of the mill cent. Someone looking for a nice 1931-S isn't likey to pay much of a premium for the additional error.
Someone looking to collect the error won't want to pay the additional premium for the scarce date.
Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups.
We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

I'm trying to imagine how this happened. If incuse, that means there was a struck-through error on earlier coin(s) where a small piece of metal was present on the "A" and was struck by the die, filling the "A". Then that piece of metal fell out after some number of strikes, landed upside-down on the die, and was struck-through to form the incuse "A" seen on this coin. Is that the correct interpretation? I can't imagine a scenario that would result in a raised "A".

Thanks everyone, this is exactly why I support & highly recommend CCF.
Ugh,,,,error.ref website fails to open for me. I find their website superior for error coins info. but website functionality remains extremely poor, likely won't re-subscribe.
I'll reach out to a couple other sources before making decision to sell, keep or trade.
