okiepb Pillar of the Community United States 1213 Posts	Posted 06/25/2020 8:51 pm Here's a 1886-S that appears to have an S/S mint mark (VAM4) or maybe a re-punched mint mark (VAM2). Perhaps it's just a messed up mint mark? Are the pictures detailed and clear enough to determine what it is? Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for your assistance. Report this Post to the Staff

Focus on the eastern vertical top bar of the 'S' You might have noticed that protrusion on your coin(upper curb bar) and looks like a split on the lower curb end, the reason you are asking possible VAM4 or VAM2. It's hard to decipher though with the pix you posted. The experts can help if you can take close up pix of your mint mark. Report this Post to the Staff
