<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 3196758, member: 74282"]I believe what you're seeing as the Q is actually the tip of the acrostilium or prow-stem, the portion of the prow that curves upwards. Look at <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/4120908594/in/photolist-dSS6bS-677KRt-eBt545-dApn7S-dAiT32-8jvuXP-7h9Jyb-93MU2F-67c1Df-9hr95E-a2KLrm-wfp356-GLa3Uv-stnQy3-vXMf4N-29Bdx3w" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ahala_rome/4120908594/in/photolist-dSS6bS-677KRt-eBt545-dApn7S-dAiT32-8jvuXP-7h9Jyb-93MU2F-67c1Df-9hr95E-a2KLrm-wfp356-GLa3Uv-stnQy3-vXMf4N-29Bdx3w" rel="nofollow">this coin</a> as an example which could potentially trick your eye into thinking a "Q" was there if the rest of the acrostilium was less distinct. On the "Q" series quadrans, the Q is actually just to the right of the prow itself at approximately 3 o'clock on the reverse as can be seen <a href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1276877" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=1276877" rel="nofollow">on this coin</a>.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
