I must confess that I based my opinion upon the comparison of the OP's coin to that of the image I posted with the large S. I had no idea that they used three different mm styles for that year and I saw no mention of different mm styles in any of my publications. I did look at the PCGS site and saw an example with a smaller mm after this controversy. I do stand corrected! Are there other dates with multiple style MM's? If someone could expand on this I would like to know for future reference? This is what is great about this site, so many experienced numismatists eager to enlighten others!

Hello!
According to the current situation in the retail market of silver coins in China, the outrageous prices have been greatly affected by the epidemic, but they are still outrageous (for me). Specifically, the price of high-value coins has not changed much, but the prices of some mid to low end silver coins have fallen significantly. Although I don't collect Chinese silver coins, my friends around me are complaining. For me, I still prefer to trade with personal collectors.

Yeah that is what I want to say! I didn't know the different types of 1864-S until you let me check the coin book. I'm here to make progress! a worn coin can cause everyone to carefully check it, which is the atmosphere that the numismatics profession should have, and it is precisely in this way that counterfeit coins can be completely eliminated!

Love the community!

Wow, I had no idea that there were so many varieties associated with this series. I have a lot of learning to do regarding this series!

@MisterT The Seated Half series is pretty fun. The links that Heymikep posted are the ones I've been using for a long time. It is very helpful. For some of the years, various mintmark sizes were used, but not every year. For example, the 1870-CC and 1872-CC only use the large CC mintmark. It is also helpful when deciphering years on worn coins occasionally.
