[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3194729, member: 90692"]You're welcome. One last bit of info: think of how the S would have ended up on top of the D. At the SF Mint, a working die would have been produced with a Denver mint mark, forcing them to repunch that die with an S. How did that die get to San Francisco in the first place? Did they run out of dies to use and Denver shipped some to them? Or, did a SF Mint worker just happen to have a Denver mint mark punch laying around and he grabbed it by mistake? There are other scenarios how it could have happened. Your coin doesn't exhibit any doubling or repunching, imo, but thinking about the minting process helps you analyze what you see on what you find. I am by no means, way, shape or form a die expert, but the section @ doubleddie.com on "How dies are made" was very illuminating. Hope this helped. Spark[/QUOTE]
