ZoraksGirl New Member United States 6 Posts	Posted 10/08/2018 2:58 pm I see the top of an 8 in the denticles below the 8, but I think I also see something below the 7 and I don't see that variety anywhere (something below both the 8 and 7). Am I seeing things? I'm pretty sure the mintmark is repunched, just like FS-301 and 302. Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

MeadowviewCollector Pillar of the Community United States 4409 Posts	Posted 10/08/2018 8:00 pm I can see the 8 in the denticles when I click on the enlarged pictures you provided. I'm not sure about under the 7. The best assistance I can give is a link to the online version of the Double Dimes book by Brunner and Frost which by chance mentions misplaced digits http://doubledimes.com/1875S-Summary.html Report this Post to the Staff
