Benja Valued Member United States 186 Posts	Posted 05/14/2017 02:46 am I was checking over all my old Jeffersons when I found this. Took some flashing in the light to realize this is actually an S and not a P. As you can see, the coin has some pretty nice details, probably XF, so I wouldn't expect the mintmark to be so worn So it appears the mintmark is really weak and filled in. Is this a special variety or just common die wear? Edited by Benja 05/14/2017 02:47 am Report this Post to the Staff
