<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 25402700, member: 13307&quot;]So, just want to say it&#039;s totally okay for some to not see it as an 1896 S.&nbsp; We don&#039;t have to all see it the same way - I posted it to get opinions, and yours is just as valid even if it doesn&#039;t match what others are saying.&nbsp; Totally cool.&nbsp; The value in everyone&#039;s opinions is that hopefully we learn something.&nbsp; And I learned the above info about the two die pairs and the diagnostics.&nbsp; So that has value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, like I said in my OP, it showed up WAY better in the digital images than it does in hand.&nbsp; When I bought it, I kinda thought there might be a mint mark there, so at melt value I figured it was a no-lose situation.&nbsp; Even it it&#039;s eventually just a hunk of silver...that&#039;s how I bought it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it does turn out to be an 1896 S, I&#039;m just going to hang on to it anyway and enjoy the &quot;trophy.&quot;&nbsp; Not everything has to be about how much is something worth.&nbsp; It can still go back to just being fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for your replies in the post (and to everyone else!)&nbsp; Much appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
