    Can't find this listed anywhere? Varity Vista did not have it listed.

    Any suggestions?

    It's a fluke. It's not even the same size font.

    Right out of a mint set.

    That doesn't mean anything. The cello can't protect the coins from anything except bad breath.

    Polishing out the mint mark would shrink the size of the font.

    Now, you're drawing a conclusion from a formulated supposition that the Mint would polish out a mintmark and use the coins for its Mint Set? If that were the case, we should expect to see hundreds, maybe thousands, of Mint Sets with the same anomaly. No way, Jose!

    I wouldn't know anything about bad breath, so I'll assume you're an expert.

    Time to move on Chris.

    That's not an omm. An Over Mint Mark would be a d over an S or vice versa. An RPM is a D/D or an S/S.
    What you have in neither. Just a D mint Washington quarter.

    Now, see! All you can do is run away when you don't have a good response.

    Ask anyone, here! The cello provides no protection at all.

    If you want to get serious, this wouldn't be considered an OMM anyway!

    It doesn't matter! He ran off because he knew he was wrong but just didn't want to admit it.

    I got the impression that he still didn't learn anything, and is stuck to his first feeling.

    What it is is a mis-placed mint mark.

    I'll try to load better photos.

    I stand corrected. Not a OMM.

    I had to leave for awhile, never ran away. So Chris time for you to walk away and learn to be more polite.

    Best photo I can take with a camera phone.

    I have to run another errand, so I am going to run away. For awhile.

    Chris is plenty polite, but what most don't understand is that he knows what he is talking about. The thing is you took it personal.

    We are here to help if someone needs but we also have zero responsibility to answer, let alone argue with someone over an answer given.

    Chris said it is a fluke. I say it is a mis-placed mint mark.

    It can be seen better in person with a loop or a microscope. Anyway I'm happy with my find.

    RPM? I'm a kooke.

    The thing is there is nothing there but a single D mint mark.
    You can think that but I challenge you to actually learn how coins are made and how they age. It's your coin you can call it what ever you want but don't be surprised when experienced folks don't see it the same.

    So you're 100% certain that there are no remnants of a second mint mark?
