texasmick Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 10:17 pm I purchased about 3 rolls of Barber quarters over the last year from various sources. The ones that constituted upgrades for my Dansco were popped in immediately after purchase. The rest waited until today for me to spend some quality time with a loupe. I've done a bit more research since posting and I'm fairly sure it just LOOKS like an S. It isn't large enough to be a genuine mint mark. I would love to be wrong, though.... Here is the coin: I might put it in my Dansco anyway. It's not like I'm going to fill the 1901-S spot any time soon. Report this Post to the Staff
Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 04/17/2017 10:26 pm Get an opinion from a good standing coin dealer. If they think it is legitimate then I would get it authenticated by PCGS or NGC, cause even in AG condition that is still an amazing find and a valuable coin nonetheless.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 04/18/2017 12:07 am I've seen several 1895-S quarters with very faint mintmarks. The mintmarks were overlooked by dealers who put the G to VG coins in the generic Barber bins. Perhaps the S was weakly impressed on the die, or these pieces were caused by a partially filled die. I suppose there could be similarly weak mintmarks on 1901-S coins. You could call ANACS and inquire whether weak-S coins have been certified. Report this Post to the Staff
