<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2822285, member: 84179&quot;]Think it through a little.&nbsp; It can&#039;t be a clash from the obverse.&nbsp; I can&#039;t think of any other coin from that time period that has that size S, yet alone in a location where it could be mated to the reverse in a press to show up in that location.&nbsp; Plus a clash would have be a reversed image.</p><p><br /></p><p>Overstruck on another coin with the S being the only remnant?&nbsp; What other coin using a copper planchet would have that size S in that specific location.&nbsp; There aren&#039;t even any silver coins that would have that size S in that location. </p><p><br /></p><p>So what part of the minting process could have caused it?&nbsp; None that I know about. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, the coin does exhibit a lot of digs, dents and scratches/gouges, including a dent directly opposite the &quot;S&quot;.&nbsp; Dents can push up metal on the opposite side of the coin.&nbsp; It may seem like an S but it is just an artifact from the damage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
