I think @paddyman98 already gave an opinion on this coin and that he believes it is a foreign substance (crud).

This is the same photograph you posted the other day. If you want a second opinion, at least please provide better photographs of this coin including a close up of the area of interest which contains what you are calling "falling mint mark."

Good luck on your second opinion!

 

Yes I'm just looking for a second opinion

 

Has there ever been a falling mint mark

 

I checked on the internet for falling mint Mark's nothing it's like it doesn't exist

 

So this would be a first a new find

 

I'm thinking so

 

You probably need to send it in to one of the major Third Party Graders in order to legitimize it. If one of them says its real, you're in the Big Bucks. Without one of them saying it's for real, it doesn't mean a thing.

Do yourself a favor, take a wet wooden toothpick and see if that dark stuff comes off. If it's just crud, it will come off. If it doesn't, it may be real.
Either way, THAT is your first reality check !

 

No.. I dont think so

 

Ok I'll do that

 

@Doug swanson
There is a Mint Error known as a Dropped Element or Isolated Element but when you read what it is you will understand how it occurs. Mint Marks just don't fall off and end up on another part of the coin.

You should. And make sure you get back to us with the results.

Try NGC. I have been with them for many years.

 

I'll keep everyone informed

 

Great. And if it comes back good I will share with you some of my hundreds of Mint Errors that I own..

I specialize in Mint Errors

 

That's a LOT of mint errors, paddy.

 

And that's an old picture. I have added about 20 more since then.. I have many raw examples also.

 

Your T-shirt is so fun! And your collection of Mint Errors...WOW!!!

 

That is a foreign substance on the coin, not a dropped element.

Hey @paddyman98 have you ever been stumped on here? Told someone that they had a damaged coin, they sent it in and it came back as an error?

I don't think I have ever seen it with any member here. I may be ranting but if someone doesn't like the advice they are given why did they come here to ask the question anyways?

 

At first, I took the T-Shirt at face value but then I got suspicious so I zoomed in. Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! You hog the bed with your coin collection and she hogs the nightstand and closet with her cosmetics and shoes and bags - so that's what makes a marriage work!
