 It appears that this coin has a substance on the coin which is just giving the appearance of a letter but is not. This would likely come off using pure acetone for example. There are many things that can cause a coin to have a substance on it, a stain or discoloration from the environment or circulation after minting. There are errors like a dropped letter that can look like the same font and size of other coin letters http://goccf.com/t/440396 as well as RPM (Re Punched Mint Marks) can be found on coins so its good to ask until you understand what those are.  Its recommended not to take photos of the scope screen but use the original image that is saved to the card and edited to be under 300k. Edited by datadragon

I will be taking better lighted pics tomorrow I found it late tonight and that was the best I could get. The s is raised and on top of the other s not a shadow. There are other things wrong with it as well do hopefully I can get better pics tomorrow in sun light. Ty for responding I'm new to this so I'm learning as much as I can.

Full, large and sharp images of the obverse and reverse would be very useful. Beware Pareidolia. |

If in incuse, it is damage to the coin. If it were a struck 'S', then were are the rest of the devices.? The full die design would be there with two sets of all devices on the coin if it were double struck.  Both sides would be affected. The dies are created off a full design. So it can't be an extra letter. Note the other incuse marks on the coin? They look like what we would see from a parking lot coin. Not a mint error. Edited by coop

Why repost the same coin.
It is just damage from a hit like the damage on Lincoln's neck.
It is impossible when a coin is minted for another letter or number to appear
unless it is a dropped letter which this is not.

@twin, you will notice that I have merged these two threads as best practice is to only start one thread per coin. Certainly not a big deal thoug—just something to think about for your next post. Thx.

The clear give away that it's PMD is the brighter color line/strip/scrape below the S the rest that you are seeing is the bottom of the original S pushed upwards towards the rim making your mind think you see a S on a S but it's the same S just distorted... When @Coop says it's incused that is what he's talking about. The brighter color line/strip/scrape below the S. Edited by NEWmrMatic
