Why Does This Coin Appear To Have A Mint Mark?

But that one is on Mars.

 

I still see nothing on your original posted coin, however, the 2nd coin you posted clearly shows a faint "S".

 

All I see is a 3/4 front image of Elvis.

 

They may have only looked at the coin for 10 seconds and did not spend an hour with an electron microscope on a beat up 1932 quarter.
And my theory was just a guess.
Don't ask for opinions and then disagree with the ones you don't like.
If there is a ghost image of an S which is not an illusion, than that coin may have had an S affixed to it at one point.

 

Don't give an opinion and not expect to be asked how it was conceived. I don't own a microscope, electron or otherwise, and my loupe has electrical tape holding it together, but my eyes work pretty good and I don't believe there is an obstruction between them and my brain.

 

Jeff what have you been smoking ?

 

Ok guys if you sit back from your computer you can see it very clearly it's either a D or a S and yes its there.

 

But if it is real it's more of a D then a S because the S is way to big to be legit.

 

The way the human brain works is to match patterns: That shape in the tall grass looks like a lion... avoid.

Your brain creates patterns out of partial information where they may not exist. It's an incredibly powerful vision technique. But it also leads to false patterns.

 

I see a "P" for the mint in Pariedolia.

 

That's what I was wondering.

Sure, as a 1932 Philadelphia.
