bigbang7777 New Member Japan 7 Posts	Posted Yesterday 9:24 pm 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 Yesterday 10:00 pm 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 Yesterday 10:01 pm Report this Post to the Staff
