ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 10:41 am I adjusted the image to be brighter and I turned up the contrast. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Going to send this coin to ANACS hoping for a PO-01 and if there is a mint mark I would like to know. Thanks! Reverse Close up of MM Close up of MM (EDITED) Report this Post to the Staff

ChildOfTheWheat Pillar of the Community United States 5828 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 2:37 pm Actually, I should've stated I dont think its a CC... I also should've mentioned I dont care if it is a CC either. I was just seeing if others thought there was a mintmark since I'm hoping for PO-01. Report this Post to the Staff
dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 04/17/2016 4:44 pm you'd have to reference the LSCC and send the pic to a knowledgeable member of that group. I'm not sure if reverse diagnostics of the banner and its relative proximity to other points in the relief help an expert determine die marriage therefore identifying mint location. Its a journey you could take that would yield valuable numismatic education as a result. Report this Post to the Staff

There are 44 other pieces in the series with lower mintages.

Nope, these dies were created from full hubs so the relative placements of design elements are the same on all of them from all the mints this year.

Skippypnb Valued Member 59 Posts	Posted 04/19/2016 12:10 pm IMO, don't waste the fee. There is not enough showing on this coin to pin down the mint. Even the edge reeding (if it shows) is the same as the "P" mint issue. Now there is one interesting thing you could try if you are "loaded" that just may benefit numismatics. There MAY BE a slight chance that the trace elements in the silver alloyed at CC is different than that in Philadelphia alloys but remember western silver was also sent to the East. I'll bet someone has all ready done this. Perhaps Burdette in his book "From Mine to Mint." Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/20/2016 11:20 am A lot of Nevada silver (Probably the bulk of it) was sent to San Francisco as well. It was often cheaper to sent it there than the CC mint. Report this Post to the Staff
