[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 25594498, member: 78298"]The coin doesn't exist and if it does, it's a bad counterfeit. If someone accidentally put the S mint mark on 1 die (I don't even think they were struck in San Francisco then, although in 65,66,67 the coins were struck at all 3 mints with no mint marks) there would be 200,000 or so of these coins in circulation, which would have been discovered almost 70 years ago. And even if the error was discovered at the mint before the coins were circulated, mint records would show that these coins were destroyed/melted. There's always going to be some kind of fairy tale about a coin like this.[/QUOTE]
