When I enlarge the photo of my 1918-I sovereign, the mintmark looks similar, although with the naked eye it looks like a capital I.

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 6:05 pm Looks like an I with a very well placed ding or die chip that has worn down or didn't fully strike..making it a little tough to figure out. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21611 Posts	Posted 12/10/2021 6:32 pm The "I " is the only mm that has serifs and that sovereign definitely shows a serif so it has to an "I". Report this Post to the Staff

Mayby its why such flaw. Happy to have such an interesting sovereign. I hope this mark error is not so common and mayby it will gave the coin some extra premium :) Im thinking about grading it.
