coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 08/30/2014 9:12 pm It is just damage. The size is larger than a punch "S" should be. Report this Post to the Staff
AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 08/30/2014 11:08 pm Honestly, any other letter in the alphabet, too coincidental. Lol!! Report this Post to the Staff
AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 2:04 pm Interesting feature to see is that the end of Abe's coat is missing...the "S" wasn't stamped over it or on top of it. It appears it's not there. Edited by AMB 08/31/2014 2:05 pm Report this Post to the Staff
AMB Pillar of the Community United States 801 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 5:19 pm I did a progressive overlay to compare an S to this "damage" because the D in the 47 is a mint mark smaller than other D's (if used as a reference). I chose a 1946S so the separation between the two coins could be seen clearly. Have a look. Amazing coin damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Halo1st Pillar of the Community United States 2775 Posts	Posted 08/31/2014 6:24 pm I'll agree it has an appearance or shape "S", but don't think it resembles any SF mint mark punch(s) used by the mints? Another odd contact mark post mint. Thanks, Doug. Report this Post to the Staff
