bishftl Pillar of the Community United States 1021 Posts	Posted 10/01/2013 11:04 pm I found this in my neighbors stash of wheats that have been in his safe for over 30 years. Get to look through all his old silver next, lucky me. i don't know how they punched mint marks on coins but this looks like a legit mint mark to me. Does not look to be tampered with in any way. It's so dirty its hard to get a good closeup look. If it is legit, what do I do with it? has anyone seen anything like it before on any denomination.? Please advise. Thanks for looking.
