<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jcuve, post: 731876, member: 13945&quot;]I&#039;m thinking either it is a die gouge or the mintmark was damaged at some point. I don&#039;t search through enough Jeffersons to know about the MMs on &#039;53Ss. I may be worng so I&#039;ll let some Jefferson people chime in on the specifics of this coin...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, there doesn&#039;t appear to be a listing anywhere for a &#039;53S OMM, suggesting you have one is difficult unless the coin is in great condition and one does a study with overlays to try and prove the underlying shape is another MM. This may be the product of over looking at finds. I would suggest trying to look at far more Jeffersons, like thousands, give yourself no more than 15 seconds per coin, front and back, and move on. Anything with a question should be put to the side and re-examined later with a skeptical eye. Assume it isn&#039;t something new and take it slow - rule out obvious issues such as MD, DDD, PMD, gouges and so on before thinking it is something as specific as a OMM.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
