Alrighty. I don't think I have any proof ones.

 

OK that S is the blob one. In the very first photo it looked more defined. Maybe the angle.

 

Those were taken from 2 different coin. The first image is from the first coin posted and the 2nd S from the second coin. Thanks

 

Gents?

 

lol gentlemen?

 

Yes I am not following. Was asking about the S mintmark in the original post.

 

But I thought the S mint mark variety was only for proof coins?

 

@Michael K heres what he posted after you asked that.

 

The word gents was used a lot when I was on active duty. Some habits and certain lingos are pretty hard to break.

 

Good pm Tyler! Michael the first S mark was from the first batch of images I posted. The blob looking S mark was from second SBA coin.

 

I bet you he thought you meant cents lol

 

Tyler did you get a chance to look at the pics I posted last night? I was told it just toning which apparently pretty coomon.

 

I did. Sorry I was half asleep when I looked at it and fell asleep before I could reply haha it's nothing I know about. Toning is the most confusing thing ever for me. Lol

 

Yeah I am confused. I thought the first post was the coin you are discussing.
And Tyler it appears there are both types of S mm's for proof coins, and also the blob S for circulated business strikes.

 

@Norman Asis check this out. Read up my buddy.

lol I thought so too. I didn't know that was a proof coin. The original post. Maybe I am wrong. I'll shut up haha

 

I wanted to know how it affect a coins collectibility and what impact it has if one decides to get it graded.
Another error that intrigues me the planchet errors. How can one tell if its struck on a wrong planchet. Like the Sacagewea being struck on a SBA planchet and vice versa. I havent even started sorting through my pennies, nickels , dimes and quarters. You know what I'm sayin?.

 

When the planchet size is smaller (larger won't fit into the smaller hub) it's easier to tell. i.e. a quarter struck on a nickel planchet, etc. The Sac being struck on an SBA is interesting, I believe they have the same weight, but perhaps if it is struck after the 13 sides have been created. Scanning teh intrawebz for a photo now.

 

Usually you can tell by weight. And also it's not gonna look exactly perfect. The designs can appear like a weak strike, or sometimes I've seen missing features of the coin. But if you ever have a question about that get a gram scale. Look up the weights of the coin in question. If it's within tollarance it is not wrong plantchet.
