Message:: [QUOTE="Insider, post: 2627797, member: 24314"]Truthfully Hommer, as one of the members making jokes at your expense, coins like this DO EXIST.  I do see what you are seeing on the second coin and it looks like an "S."   Experienced numismatists will tell you that if you look at enough coins - sooner or later - you can "find" every letter of the alphabet and every numeral (including Roman <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie52" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />) somewhere on their surface.  The blob on your coin is in the correct place. This coin needs to be sent to either ICG or ANACS ONLY as those people will give it the attention it needs when sent in with what you wish them to look for.  If you have two or more examples send them together as comparison pieces. Do not get your hopes up. PS I have a similar coin, a BU Morgan dollar with a much more pronounced "O" mintmark that was not completely defaced from the die.  On my coin, the "O" is more pronounced (similar to S/CC Trade dollar) than the mintmark on yours and it has been authenticated but never reported. I have been looking for another, then I'll get it VAM'ed.[/QUOTE]
