<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2438144, member: 15199"]Germaine, the photos blow up nice when clicked, and I also do not think it is an OMM, over mint mark. But the top serif of the 'S' has an area on the end that I can not tell if it is slightly raised above the field of the die or depressed ( dug out a little) lower than the field of the coin. If it is raised, I would say it is caused by die deterioration where the mint mark was sunk into the obverse die, the edges wore or broke, and allowed for a raised material when struck.
