Bump111 Pillar of the Community United States 3327 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 08:10 am Does anyone have an IC overlay? I'm wondering if this could be a clash. "Nummi rari mira sunt, si sumptus ferre potes." - Christophorus filius Scotiae Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 10:31 am There's nothing in that area on an IHC overlay, so doubt it's a clash mark. Certainly looks like an S, but it's positioned much farther right than a typical 1908 or 1909-S. Hard to see in the photos, but is the entire S intact and does it match the shape and size of a 1908-S exactly? Report this Post to the Staff

ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 04/08/2018 12:24 pm The "S" is misplaced, in any event. It would typically be directly under the ribbon tie. But there is definitely something there, resembling an S or an 8. I would go with spruett001 and say it was a very peculiar stray mark. Report this Post to the Staff

ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 04/09/2018 07:50 am Actually, here's another 1908-S with the S far to the right, as is the case with the OP's 1907. Making me think maybe it is a faded S. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 04/09/2018 09:06 am I'm with a possibly real S. Might have been an experiment back then to see how the 08 and 09 would come out. If real, should be worth a TPGS look. Imagine a million dollar find. Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 04/09/2018 09:36 am Your original photos are a little out of focus in the area of the S. Can you post clearer photos with the S in focus. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 04/09/2018 09:37 am Could you post some clearer pics? They don't necessarily have to be zoomed way in, just a pic of the mintmark area that's clear. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 04/10/2018 09:17 am The S mint dies were prepared in Philadelphia with the mintmark. And they probably were prepared before the end of 1907. However I think it would be highly unlikely that one of these S mintmarked dies would've gotten into the press in Philadelphia in 1907.

BassPro Valued Member United States 271 Posts	Posted 04/10/2018 3:52 pm I know it's highly unlikely this or these things happen but imagine what people told whoever found the copper 1943 penny. Everyone said its fake, or whatever and just tossed it to the side- multi-million dollar coin. I hope it's something of a rarity. I'm not very lucky though!! but maybe that's changing! I want to clean the area but don't want to mess it up. It looks a regular S that they tried to take off-its flat there but the S still showing. Why I think it was an experimental.

paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 04/10/2018 8:45 pm The possible MM on OP's coin looks incuse and not raised, as though it was punched there on the struck coin rather than punched into the die. I vote PMD and/or someone using an S letter punch to have some fun.

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 04/10/2018 9:20 pm I think we really need a better pic of the "mintmark". I asked about the edge because of the possibility of a well executed Magician's coin.

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 04/23/2018 10:46 pm I'd say take lots and lots of pictures rotated all different ways in different lighting, and really analyze it with a dispassionate eye before you spend money on a TPG. The mind plays tricks. For example, here's your image with the shiny bits blacked out. Is there really an S? Or are the light and dark blobs pretty consistent all around? If I turn it sideways is there an S? Report this Post to the Staff
