Mayflower2020 Pillar of the Community United States 624 Posts	Posted 09/23/2015 06:14 am It looks like a D that has either been damaged or maybe a cracked die during mintage? S mint marks wouldn't be sideways. It's carved into the die so there would be no way for it to twist when the coin was made. Report this Post to the Staff

Atually, up until the late 1980s mint marks were hand-punched into the die. Could a sideways s have been punched in, sure, but I've never seen one. I agree that this looks like a hard hit or lamination but still a cool looking "flying" D nonetheless Report this Post to the Staff
