kakaratt77 Pillar of the Community United States 1414 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 10:57 pm It has to do with the pressure exerted in that one spot, could be a RPM, can you get a close-up of the Mint Mark? Report this Post to the Staff
Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 06/12/2015 11:46 pm I'm hoping this is close enough for now I still need to find a magnifying glass to get a close up of the mark. Report this Post to the Staff

Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 08:26 am T-BOP I wasn't talking about the mint mark I was talking about the depression surrounding it that is what the dark circle is around the S Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 09:27 am If this were a high value s mint date I would say check for added mm. But ya just crud that built up from circulation where fingers couldn't touch. Just like the N, O, E & R in the motto Report this Post to the Staff
Mikeymus Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 06/13/2015 6:57 pm Actually the crud around the S is what drew my attention to this coin in the first place. It is in too perfect a circle and using my mark 1 Mod 0 eyeballs I am still seeing a slight sloping surrounding the S that doesn't show up too well in the photos I took with artificial light but I took some this morning with natural light that might show it better. too bad I don't have a jewlers loop to check the mint mark closely because that S does look a little funny looking.
