[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2472706, member: 1892"]Insider. I have little use for those who do not allow fact to influence their opinions. If it quacks, it's a duck. The mint mark on your coin is of the same size and in the same location as a Large S. It isn't shaped the same way, although the PCGS coin I posted has hints of something similar. I'm not declaring specifically what it [B]is[/B], just that blindly calling it a "Small S" based purely on the shape is to deny [B]fact[/B]. In fact, right now the strongest hypothesis - the one which accommodates [I]all[/I] the known facts - is that it's a previously-unknown mint mark punch as large as a Large and shaped like a Small. But all the facts we have on your coin are based on relatively small and undetailed images, and aside the size of the MM there's nothing else I can base concrete opinions on.[/QUOTE]
