Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 03/17/2024 9:22 pm This coin is proving quite a challenge to confirm or refute. Depending on the way that I rotate it relative to the light source, it can look like a normal knob-S mint mark or an inverted mark. Much of the challenge is the heavy Die Deterioration. Also, it's possible that the mint mark took a tap from another coin. Curious to hear what you guys think on this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Lower right inside of the middle connecting curve. So maybe it's not a hit, that might be physically part of the mint mark punch itself. Report this Post to the Staff

How well does the MM location match? Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6478 Posts	Posted 03/21/2024 8:09 pm Pete, that's one of the challenges on this particular variety. If you check out the PCGS examples (only 4 listed), they do not seem to have the mint mark in the same position. Both Variety Vista and Wexler mention multiple working dies with inverted mint marks. http://www.varietyvista.com/06%20Me...5SIMM001.htm http://www.doubleddie.com/1179161.html Report this Post to the Staff
