The larger "s loop" is supposed to be on the top, at least it is on all of the 23-s coins I've looked at. Report this Post to the Staff

You have to consider the overall wear putting the digits of the date aside when considering the levels of preservation on SLQ's before 1925, especially the 1923-S and 1921 issues, where the date was raised rather than protected in a recess as in the later dates. swcoin.ecrater.com Edited by vermontensium 03/12/2010 05:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

I hear you and see your point. I guess it just kind of concerns me though in this case. Why would the seller have an asking price of only $200, if the coin is worth 6 or 7 hundred? This coin will go under a lot of scrutiny for a potential added mint mark when I receive it. It sure looks genuine from the pics, but I took a risk purchasing this raw. Report this Post to the Staff

johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 01:06 am Here is an up-close shot of the mintmark. Any opinions as to whether or not the mintmark looks genuine? Report this Post to the Staff
wheatguy Pillar of the Community United States 1534 Posts	Posted 03/16/2010 5:51 pm Yes, it is genuine, to the best of my knowledge. If I remember correctly, counterfeits have a filled S. Report this Post to the Staff
