<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Robert Ransom, post: 5222264, member: 97872&quot;]Thanks for the photos. Without the coin in-hand, I can only view your pics. and make a somewhat educated guess. A couple of photos depict what I think is a leaf clip due to the proximity of the punch head used to impress the MM. I also believe there was a weak first strike slightly to the east and north then the final strike which clipped the leaf and generated the impression on your coin. If you look closely at a couple of your photos, you can see what appears to be a small raised area to the east of the bulb of the &quot;S&quot; and also a disturbed area north of the MM. So, If I were able to observe the conditions I have related, I would send the coin to Wexler&#039;s for corroboration as a variety, but that is me and I am not suggesting you do this. Either way, good luck and maybe there are other CT&#039;ers who agree with my position, maybe not.</p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20201211_111119-jpg.1216168/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; </p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20201211_122654-jpg.1216194/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/20201211_135535-jpg.1216250/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
