[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 3718504, member: 85496"]It looks to me like there is no MM. I was incorrect. It should be just above the tip of the tail. No MM means minted in Philly. This is most likely PMD. Now I will try to explain why. Several unlikely things had to occur at the Philly mint for this to happen. First off they were still using a hand punch to add the MM to the dies at the mint during this time. This meant someone working in the Philly mint in 1925 had to have a San Fransisco MM punch in their pocket at work one day. They then proceeded to punch an obverse of one of the dies near the forehead. This would cause the MM to appear on the rest of the coins that that obverse die made before someone noticed. Since there are quite a few collectors out there collecting Peace Dollars I think this would be a well known "error" by now if this had actually happened.[/QUOTE]
