<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2612690, member: 19165&quot;]I don&#039;t know what you people think you are seeing, but there is definitely no &quot;phantom&quot; O mintmark on that coin. Compare the OP&#039;s coin to literally any coin in the Heritage archives. There is no O: <a href="https://coins.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Ne=46&amp;N=51+790+231+313+4294967061+1585&amp;ic4=Refine-MintMark-102615" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Ne=46&amp;N=51+790+231+313+4294967061+1585&amp;ic4=Refine-MintMark-102615" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Ne=46&amp;N=51+790+231+313+4294967061+1585&amp;ic4=Refine-MintMark-102615</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If there was an O, it still wouldn&#039;t be worth it to send it in - as you can see, the 99O in VF-20 is worth maybe $75. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, back to the actual mark: it is a decent sized mark, for sure. However, it is within tolerance for problem-free grading. Would I want it on my coin? No. I&#039;d return it (if possible). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yeah, this is a really common misconception. You&#039;ll find all kinds of junk coins in the top TPG slabs. Cleaning, hairlines, marks, gashes, incredibly ugly... just because a holder says VF-20 doesn&#039;t mean that it&#039;s going to meet your standards. It only means that it is considered market acceptable to a large percentage of the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
