I have an 1883 MS64 BN that does not have this unique mark under the ribbon. It may be the Snow 7 misplaced digit but I've never seen one in hand to be sure. Hope the photos are good enough. Thanks for looking and chime in with your inputs, all welcomed. nlp

I set up a loope and shot the ribbon at an angle to show the raised line under the corner of the ribbon. I dont see anything around the 3rd or 4th pearl, nor the testicles.

I do see something near the ribbon, but to be the S-7, there should also be an MPD (base of a 1) crossing the 3rd pearl from the front:

there is another minor variety for 1883, S9 that has a misplaced 3 where the ribbon ends. My computer skills are limted , maybe DV Collector can post a picture of this variety. By the way, if you find the testicles I'm sure that is a variety that has not been discovered and is probably worth some money. LOL (In the future,I need to wear my glasses when I post)

One more picture of what looks like a raised line running east from the 3rd pearl. The line has the appearance of a die gouge to me.

I don't see the 1 either. If you compare the diagnostic pic, the 1 base should span the gap between the pearls and bust truncation. However, the mark near the ribbon is distinct. It could well be an uncatalogued variety. It's thought they tested die hardness in hidden areas, and the ribbon end is a common place for MPDs. For a small fee, Rick Snow will look at your coin, and if it's a new variety, you get credit in his variety guides.

Scans and pics are always tricky, but from the pics, looks like the Snow-7, Nice find.

Hmm...I see the circled area. I probably erred in comparing this coin to a MS-grade example.

I'm glad I went back up and re read.
Was wondering about the MS64
I think it is just a normal coin.
Couple of die chips and some polish lines so
maybe a slightly used die.

Well, the reverse does appear to be wrong, but it sure does look like a miss placed digit. The first blow up pick sure seems to be Snow-7, for sure isn't snow-9. The olive leaves appear to be away, should be connected. It still could be an unlisted mpd, too hard to tell with out having it in hand.
