    Hi, I have a 1926 Liberty Peace coin and looks like the s is a g. I haven’t found any from this year searching the net. Is this worth anything? Thanks for your help.

    The serifs of those S-mint Peace dollars
    can sometimes look different or strange
    if the coin is well circulated, or if the MM
    has a 'hit' or contact mark.

    A close up photo of the Mintmark would be
    helpful to make a determination of what it
    is

    This is the best picture I could take with my camera.

    The top right side of the S has a hit on
    it.

    I see what you're talking about, but that's
    from contact with something, and isn't an error.

    It's an "S" mintmark

    The mintmark is an S. Because of the shape of the mintmark, it will often look like a lower case "g" especially in the circulated grades. Here is a photo of a gem 1926-S Peace Dollar reverse (courtesy of Heritage).

    PS, you really shouldn't make more than one thread to ask the same question.
