My question is about a coin 1896 O morgan XF coin that I came across and noticed something unusual about the mint mark. It appears to be a O over S mint mark, but I have not found any other examples of this online. Likely the O mint mark has some post mint damage, but I am curious about inside the O where there appears to be clear S shape that could be mint mark. Attached is a picture, please let me know what you think. Thanks, MorganMan999 * Edited by Staff to Add Year / Mintmark / Denomination to Title.

morganman99 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 09/02/2022 01:05 am @91o_collector thanks for your reply! I definitely agree there is post mint damage on the O itself, but I see something inside the O that looks like S mint mark to me. Wondering if anyone else sees it that way.
